I contacted them last year and found them to be very helpful.  I asked about
seeds in general and they recommended their "variety sampler".  They sent me
25 different packets of seeds!  The only obligation is to return a postcard
to acknowledge receipt of the seeds, and they appreciate any feedback you
can provide.  The postage was only 50 cents (pre latest postal rate
increase).  Is this a great country or what?
