Good news and bad news,

Kalura is gone and while we do have a little seed left, we (Johnny's)
won't have it in the 2003 catalog and don't expect it to return. The good
news is that we have a variety in the wings that we feel is Kalura's twin
and it will be available in our 2004 catalog (it's still in production)
asuming all goes well.  Hope this helps.
