Both have great cool-soil germination, and good quality when frozen.


If I could choose only one, it would be Emerite, which has been the more productive of the two. It has proven to be reliable year after year, even planted late.

I have grown fortex rattlesnake and emerite...I prefer emerite for 7 years now
