When more than one component is required to be named, the word “mixture” or the word “mixed” shall be shown conspicuously on the label. Second generation from hybrid seeds, if sold, shall be labeled “second generation (of the parent), variety not stated.” “F” designations on labels, unless used as a part of a variety name, will refer only to size and shape of corn seeds.

(3) Net weight.

(4) Origin, if known. If the origin is unknown, the fact shall be stated.

(5) Percentage by weight of inert matter.

(6) Percentage by weight of agricultural seeds and/or vegetable seeds (which shall be designated as “other crop seeds”) other than those named on the label. Different varieties of the same kind of seed, when in quantities of less than five percent (5%) will be considered as other crop seed.

(7) Percentage by weight of all weed seeds, including noxious-weed seeds.

(8) For each named agricultural seed:

(9) The name and number per pound of each kind of restricted noxious-weed seed present.
