I got a catalog today from the Piedmont Plant Company, they don't sell
seeds...they sell seedlings.  Everything looked on the up and up, but they
make a very puzzling claim in their catalog, and I'd like to get the lists
comments.  This is what they said and I quote:

"....Santa, the only one thus far available with the true grape size and
shape accompanied by that remarkable flavor.  There are others larger and
less sweet, but only one santa, and it is rumoured, a single large grower
has bought up the rights to all seed production for at least a couple of
years.  Thus no seed available for us to offer plants.  Fortunately, we
found a group in California with a small amount of seed and expertise in the
multiplication of plants by rooting meristematic tissue taken from
seed-grown mother plants.  And it is these plants, if all goes well, that we
can offer you.  If these little tomato nuggests are tasty at the grocery
store, we can only imagine fresh-picked ones, that is, until this spring,
when we can grow out own, along with you, from the plants offered below.
Supplies may be limited, we suggest you order as early  as practicable.
.....Tolerant of heat, late blight, grey leaf spot and some viruses."  end
of quote.

This is confusing because I've seen seed for SANTA offered from many
sources.  Anyone know anything about this?

Pete, South Florida, Zone 10
