I agree with Michele that a seller would/should mention if they are peeled. But, here is an even more intriguing AHS archive link (same researchers) that does seem to more strongly state that peeling of at least the "invisible membrane" that encloses the embryo tip just under the seed coat greatly increases the percentage of seed germinations (circa 1950s -- who knows if that has been formally confirmed...). I suppose if someone hybridized particularly expensive or hard-to-propogate cultivars and hoped to maximize germination it might be worth peeling each seed, but the peeling process seems pretty onerous. I hope you might ask the seller how they did it, Brian! Maybe there is an easy way to skin a DL seed?
