Stokes has a statement in their catalog about all their seeds being treated. Johnny's has a statement about all their seeds being inspected Vesey's (PEI) seeds has to be inspected for US import. These seeds I do not treat. If I purchase from a catalog without the above statement(s) or seeds from a new homegrower or some that I have saved in a bad year, I will treat these. Byron
