2204.01 Labeling Kind and Variety or
Type and Performance Characteristic of Flower Seeds.
(a)
Labeling for seeds of plants grown primarily for their blooms
shall be as follows:
(1)
If the seeds are of a single name variety, the kind and variety shall be
stated, for example, "Marigold, Butterball";
(2)
If the seeds are of a single type and color for which there is no
specific variety name, the type of plant, and the type and color of bloom shall
be indicated, for example, "Scabiosa,Tall, Large
Flowered, Double, Pink";
(3)
If the seeds consist of an assortment or mixture of colors or varieties
of a single kind, the kind name, the type of plant, and the type or types of
bloom shall be indicated. In addition, it shall be clearly indicated that the
seed is mixed or assorted. An example of labeling such a mixture or assortment
is "Marigold, Dwarf Double French, Mixed Colors";
(4)
If the seeds consist of an assortment or mixture of kinds or kinds and
varieties, it shall be clearly indicated that the seed is assorted or mixed and
the specific use of the assortment or mixture shall be indicated, for example,
"Cut Flower Mixture", or "Rock Garden Mixture";
(5)
Such statements as "General Purpose Mixture", "Wonder
Mixture", or any other statement which fails to indicate the specific use of
the seed shall meet the requirements of this section unless the specific use of
the mixture is also stated;
(6)
Containers with over 3 grams of seed shall list the kind or kind and
variety names of each component present in excess of 5.0 percent of the whole
in the order of their predominance giving the percentage by weight of each;
(7)
Components of 5.0 percent or less shall be listed but need not be in
order of predominance. A single
percentage by weight shall be given for these components;
(8)
If no component of a mixture exceeds 5 percent of the whole, the
statement "No component in excess of 5 percent" may be used; and
(9)
Containers with 3 grams of seed or less shall list the components
without giving percentage by weight and need not be in order of predominance.
(b) For seeds of plants grown for ornamental
purposes other than their blooms, the kind and variety shall be stated, or the
kind shall be stated together with a descriptive statement concerning the
ornamental part of the plant, for example, "Ornamental Gourds, Small
Fruited, Mixed".
