Monsanto bought Seminis, and changed the name to American Seeds. Seminis is 
a major supplier of fruit and vegetable seeds to other seed sellers. Some 
companies stopped buying from them; Seminis owns some of the more popular 
varieties of vegetables, so these companies will have to find substitutes. 
If you buy heirloom seeds from a place like SSE (and lots of other 
companies), they won't be from Monsanto.
