I saw the note on Gurney's site that says they are non-GMO--that's great! Hurray!

I've never purchased from them because they don't seem to have a good reputation based on the reviews that I've read. As far as the non-GMO claims, GMO seed is not even available to home gardeners currently. Rolling my eyes.
(Although seeds of wind-pollinated crops like corn do have to be tested for contamination.)

That is why I asked. MI Bulb is another. There are many very good vendors out there.

Thank you for the info. I'll steer clear of them for now, then.
