Organic Seeds vs. Non-Hybrid (Heirloom) Seeds

"Organic" refers only to how parent plants were grown—without synthetic chemicals or fertilizers. Organic seeds can be either hybrid or open-pollinated (heirloom). If you want non-hybrid seeds for saving, look for "heirloom" or "open-pollinated" on the packet.

Reliable Sources for Heirloom Seeds

• Park Seed (parkseed.com)
• Burpee (burpee.com)

Both catalogs clearly mark heirloom varieties, making it easy to choose seeds that will breed true year after year.
