"It is the policy of the NPGS to provide available materials in small quantities to research and education entities when genetic diversity or genetic standards are a requirement. The purpose is not for home or personal use that can be well served by commercially-available varieties. For that reason, this gene bank is unable to supply you with the plant materials that you requested."
