re Stokes Seed; 1999 catalog Pg 42 under Culture
"All our seed is Georgia Treatment (chlorine treatment) to limit seed borne
disease. All varieties are screened @ 0/30,000 for bacterial spot"

re Johnny's Seed; 1999 catalog. pg 45 under culture
"Bacterial Spot Notice: Bacterial spot can be a seed borne disease. All
Johnny's seed lots are tested for bacterial spot, and we chlorine treat all
positive lots.
No treatment can assure absolute freedom from disease"
