ABSTRACT:
A rectangular sheet member or tag is provided which has a top, bottom, and opposite sides. A pair of horizontally disposed juxtapositioned colored bars appear adjacent the top of the tag with each bar and the colors thereof symbolizing the inbred parentage of the hybrid.
A variety denomination such as a number of several digits is assigned to the hybrid seed and this number appears preferably below the parentage bars along with a notation pertaining to the maturity rating of the hybrid.
Vertically disposed indicia means appears along one side edge of the sheet member with numerals of progressively increasing magnitude. A plurality of separate vertically extending bars extends upwardly from the bottom of the tag adjacent the indicia means with the length of each of the bars representing the evaluation of different characteristics of the hybrid. Preferably, the color of the male parent of this seed is the same color as the vertical bars which reflect the characteristics of the seed.
A tag for seed of a given variety or hybrid is affixed to the bags containing such seed. Replicas of a plurality of tags for a plurality of variations of seed are easily placed in published form to permit a rapid comparison of varieties including instant access to the characteristics of each hybrid as well as the parentage thereof.
