of seed which is sold, offered or exposed for sale shall be responsible

to broken lots of seed whether he is offering for sale or selling seed
which bears labels of a previous vendor with or without endorsement, or
bears his own label.

for all labels attached to said lot of seed, at the time he sells or
offers for sale such lot of seed.
