FYI, I got a letter a couple days ago from GeoSeed telling me this:

Benary has changed their seed form to Coated and Polished for the whole series of Zinnia Benary's Giant Dahlia BluePoint Series. Beginning May 1, 2009 their seed will only be available in this form.

The pricing is as follows for all colors including Lime:

100 seed - $3.25

1000 seed @ more per 1000 - $22.25

This is about 5X the price that GeoSeed charged for the non-coated and polished seed in their 2009 catalog. The letter advises that they still have some of the standard seed in stock available at the old price until inventory is depleted.
