					 Pa.C.S. §
											7104 (relating to labels and
					 labeling) require that flower seeds be labeled with the name of the kind and
					 variety or a statement of type and performance characteristics as prescribed by
					 the Department of Agriculture. This provision shall be complied with as
					 follows:
(1) For seeds of plants grown
				  primarily for their blooms:
(i) If the seeds
				  are of a single named variety, the kind and variety shall be stated, such as:
				  "Marigold Butterball."
(ii) If the
				  seeds are of a single type and color for which there is no specific variety
				  name, the type of plant, if significant, and the type and color of bloom shall
				  be indicated, such as: "Scabiosa Tall, Large-Flowered, Double, Pink."
(iii) If the seeds consist of an assortment
				  or mixture of colors or varieties of a single kind, the kind name, the type of
				  plant, if significant, and the type or types of bloom shall be indicated. It
				  shall be clearly indicated that the seed is mixed or assorted, such as:
				  "Marigold, Dwarf Double French, Mixed Colors."
(iv) If the seeds consist of an assortment or
				  mixture of kinds and varieties, it shall be clearly indicated that the seed is
				  assorted or mixed and specific use of the assortment or mixture shall be
				  indicated, such as: "Cut Flower Mixture," or "Rock Garden Mixture." Statements
				  such as "General Purpose Mixture," "Wonder Mixture" or another statement which
				  fails to indicate the specific use of the seed may not be considered as meeting
				  the requirements of this section unless the specific use of the mixture is also
				  stated. Containers over 3 grams shall list the kind or kind and variety names
				  in excess of 5.0% in the order of their predominance giving the percentage by
				  weight of each. Components of less than 5.0% shall be listed but need not be in
				  order of predominance. A single percentage by weight shall be given for these
				  components. Containers of 3 grams or less shall list the components without
				  giving percentage by weight and need not be in order of predominance.
(v) Flower seed mixtures shall be considered
				  misleading if the kinds or kinds and varieties found by analysis differs by 20%
				  or more of those listed on the label.
