The object bears witness to a skill traditionally associated with or practiced by the Acadian population, namely agriculture, both family-based (gardens, vegetable patches, livestock farming) and commercial. The object bears witness to the agricultural production tools used by the Acadian population; in this case, a "natural" tool, namely seeds. Although its origin is unknown, this heritage is generally identified with the Acadian people.

The vials also provide information about what was growing in the Gaspé region at the time: melons, rubber, and Alaskan oats are just a few of the many different species.

In 2021, the Acadian Museum of Quebec inaugurated its second temporary exhibition, Maisons mémoire (Memory Houses), which lifts the veil on the past of Acadian houses in the region. The home of Mrs. Rose Bujold and its large 130-year-old garden, which fed several families—four in total—for years, bears witness to the region's essential agricultural heritage. When the house was built, it was a subsistence garden. There is no record of the seeds that were sown, but we can imagine that there were cabbages, turnips, beets, and potatoes—vegetables that are consumed year-round—and that the vegetables harvested had to reflect the tastes and food traditions in vogue at the time and therefore evolve in line with them.
