Thanks, Keith, but I should have been more specific on size. Two- or  
three-quart size would be too large for my seed-saving needs. Pint- 
size would be plenty large for me. I think that that large-size seeds  
could adequately be saved in regular quart-size clear jars, of which  
we all have plenty, or can accumulate them with regular store purchases.

Whoa!, says he, as he sets down the empty bottle of New Belgium 1554.  
Look before thee, fool. This bottle holds twelve ounces, is of dark- 
colored glass, and is, ahem, available in quantity. Now to determine  
with what to seal. What's a good source of small corks? We have  
plenty of wine corks but the whittlin' might become tedious. Perhaps  
pieces of plastic wrap and just ram the old top back on. Wow, what a  
find!
