Ya know, when I typed those two words, I knew I didn't know what I was
talking about and dreaded someone's questions.  However, being the
'absolute note taker' that I am, I am sure that 'Larry' at the Premium
Seed Company, or Agri-BioTech, used those words exactly.  Not sure if he
knows what genetic modification really is, but he seemed to.  (At least
to the uninformed - me)  He had immediate answers for all my questions,
without any need to look anything up.

The cover sheet that accompanied my first order:

"Evergreen White Blossom Sweet Clover was released by Ohio State
University Experiment Station for use by Bee Keepers"

"Evergreen is extremely tall, and flowers from the bottom of the plant
to the top over a long period allowing bees to work its pure white
blossoms for 6 to 8 weeks, or longer in some cases"

"Evergreen was long considered one of the finest quality and highest
producers of honey for use by BeeKeepers, but fell into disuse because
collecting a seed crop was difficult due to seed shattering.  Peterson
Seed Company secured seedstocks from the National Seed Storage
Laboratory through an agreement with OSU and used updated cultural
practice to produce seed"

I realize that my answer here does not address your concern.  Perhaps if
you email me the proper questions, I can ask them and get you a proper
answer.

Sorry for the runaround!
