Doug is correct except that Petoseed was purchased this year by 
Seminis and the name was changed to Seminis Vegetable. Along with 
their Peppers, Tomatoes, Melons, etc., they now have Corn, Beans and 
other veggies which were only available to large growers. Some of 
those new varieties should be available in 1999. I probably won't be 
offering those other veggies as I'm trying to concentrate on Peppers.
