The variety designation of each component, the percentage by weight of each component, and the germination percentage and hard seed percentage, if applicable, of each component may be omitted if the label states the kind of seed and the words "varieties not stated". The blend may be represented by one common pure seed percentage, one germination percentage, and one hard seed percentage, if applicable, for the blend as a whole.

(8) Centrifuge for one (1) minute in a centrifuge heated to one hundred twenty-six (126) degrees Fahrenheit.
(9) Place the samples in a water bath maintained at one hundred eighteen (118) degrees Fahrenheit for five (5) minutes with the water level above the top of the fat column.
