If the origin is unknown, that fact shall be stated. The container shall bear thereon the percentage by weight of all weed seeds, the percentage by weight of agricultural seeds other than those required to be named on the label, which shall be designated as ''other crop seed'', and the percentage by weight of inert matter. For each agricultural seed named there shall appear, the percentage of germination, exclusive of hard seed, the percentage of hard seed, if present and the calendar month and year the test was completed to determine such percentages.
