In my experience Lowes is one of the worst offenders for "off types" I
suspect they are buying from a source that has Hollsnd TC material.
Nether they, the grower, or the Holland labs, care a thing about the end
product!!! they are only intrested in selling a name. Janet, does look
different in different parts of the plant, and so what you are seeing may
be normal. The others are misrepresentations! The seller is actually
breaking the law! They should be told about it, sternly, and if
necessary threatned with action. This kind of thing falls under the
ganeral legal heading of consumer fraud.
