due to ripen during the peroid from FEBRUARY thru DECEMBER 
I948,Experience has proven that much better germination and 
grouth is obtained from strictly fresh seed as it will stand 
the adverse conditions encountered enroute to you and the 
sterilizing process when planting,much better than seed only 
a few weeks old.This ability is rapidly lost as the seed ages,
