<laugh>. T&M's pricing is outlandish.

An interesting event occurred a couple of years ago with Golden Beet.
The
company that supplies the seed industry, Seminis Garden, had a huge crop
failure. Every seed company that depended on them and had already
listed it
in their catalogues had to tell customers about the crop failure. <snip>

If you haven't read FEDCO's new catalog for Niko's wonderful commentary
on Seminis' Golden Beet saga, get a copy of the catalog. The quote from
Seminis' is a hoot and a half. Best doublespeak since Richard Milhouse
was in office.
FEDCO offers seed for $1.00 for 1/8 ounce to $60.00 for a pound for
somebody who wants to plant the back 40 in golden beets, perhaps. So,
FEDCO's probably got the best price of anybody. Besides, they are just
great people with whom to do business.
