* SASE--stamped, self-addressed business-size envelope.

* Open-pollinated seeds means pollination that occurs naturally in the field. By saving the seed from the strongest, most productive plants year after year, a strain is gradually created that is well-adapted locally. Planting seeds saved from hybrids won't yield the same plant that produced the seed originally.
