J, I feel acutely uncomfortable about answering such a question when a specific seed company, in this case TT, is the issue. For I don't think they would ever do that.

I'll only say that of the varieties you mention, Omar's Lebanese is pink, so that's out of the picture.

Chuck Wyatt did, though, God rest his soul. I mean substutute varieties when he was out of something. He thought it was cute and clever and said no one would know the difference and I was astounded and yelled at him, which of course made no difference to Chuck the fighter pilot in Korea and career military man.

How I miss arguing with him.

I know Tom.

I have to switch from AOL to IE to read here but all my mail goes to AOL, and I scan here first before going back to AOL, so that's why I asked here first, when indeed when I went to AOL there you were.
