There will be a whole lot more on Byron later because he's 
beginning to affect my business, but I challenge him to document 
any case of any commercial seed company in the United States 
distributing imported untested seeds in this century. I have copies 
of the phytosanitary certificates on every variety which I have 
imported, including samples.

If anyone is interested this late in the year, I have two new F1 
varieties from mainland China called "Red Star" and "Red Beauty" I 
have no information on them other than the names and my 
attempts to contact the supplier via e-mail have not worked since 
we accidently bombed the Chinese embassy in Belgrade. I have 
sent a snail-mail letter but have not received a reply.

If anyone would like some seeds to try send a SASE to:

Tough Love Chile Co.
18124 Wedge Parkway
PMB 128
Reno NV 89511

Please feel free to ask for a copy of the Phytosanitary Certificate 
as well.
