The law states that "each separate container of agricultural or 

 vegetable seed, including seeds in small packets, shall be labeled"; but 

 if a dealer has bulk lots of seeds exposed for sale and these bulk lots are 

 properly labeled, he shall not be required to copy the information from 

 the label on to each individual bag in which he delivers small lots of this 

 bulk seed over the counter to customers. 



* "Current year in this sample labeling means the month and year of the last germination test which 

 must be stated and be within nine (9) months of the date the seeds are offered or exposed for sale. See 

 par. 5 Section 1 of the law itself."
