These are all so-called "Heirloom Marriage" F1 hybrids produced by Pan American Seed

For example -- Cherokee Carbon

They are sold by reputable companies like Territorial

It is fashionable for some places to sell unstable seeds (sometimes out of desperation?), but I do not think it is standard for any of the established seed companies to do it.

Some smaller seed companies are selling segregating populations from crosses, and that shouldn't be a problem, as long as they are clearly labeled as such. And sometimes they are.
