When it comes to buying seeds and plants, there's a lot of confu- sion, even among seasoned gardeners. Here are a few facts that may help. Hybrids First things fi rst: Hybrids are not the same thing as genetically modifi ed organ- isms (GMOs). Thanks to pollinators such as bees and butterfl ies moving pollen from plant to plant, hybrids occur naturally in nature. A hybrid is created when two differ- ent plant varieties of the same species are cross-pollinated. In the same way that dog breeders can cross a Labrador retriever and a poodle to There is a difference... Hybrids, heirlooms and GMOs explained create a soft, fl uffy Labra- doodle, gar- deners can select parent plants that dis- play particular traits to pro- duce offspring that offer im- proved yield, size, hardiness, color, shape and taste. The process of selective breeding was pioneered by Gregor Men- del in the 19th century. When it was fi rst used by horticultur- ists in the 20th century, it re- sulted in hybrid corn that pro- duced higher yields. Since that point, breeders, re- searchers and inventive gar- deners have been using the process of hy- bridization to produce fruits, vegetables and fl owers with highly selective features. Seed producers such as W. Atlee Burpee & Co. used selective breeding to create iconic vegetables such as the "Big Boy" tomato, a hybrid that displayed such vigor and dis- ease resistance that it shaped the modern era of tomato breeding. "Hybrids grow well coast to coast with stable and reliable traits across a multitude of growing environments. The dependabili- ty of fl avor and garden performance is what makes them garden staples throughout the good—and the bad—growing seasons," said Chelsey Fields, a horticulturist at Bur- pee. Heirlooms Unlike hybrid seeds that result from se- lective breeding, heirlooms are open-polli- nated varieties prized for having character- istics that haven't changed over 50 to 100 years. They're often specifi c to a particular area and therefore not widely adaptable. Also, unlike hybrids, their fl owers and fruits tend to be less vigorous, making them more susceptible to diseases and adverse con- ditions. Many heirloom seeds were once available commercially and have been saved from extinction by dedicated garden- ers who save fresh seeds every year. Genetically Modifi ed Organisms GMOs are quite different from both hy- brids and heirlooms. GMO seeds are the result of genetic engineering, the process of altering a plant's DNA in a laboratory setting. This often includes introducing genes from a different species to increase a plant's resis-tance to disease or spoilage. It's important to know GMOs are found only in commercially grown farm produce. Seeds or plants that might contain GMOs are not available to home gardeners in the United States. All of Burpee's hybrid and heirloom seeds are non-GMO. The compa- ny has supplied American home gardeners with the highest-quality seeds since 1876.
