By 'heirloom' do you mean, non genetically engineered seeds?
Ping to first question.
What sites have you looked at for heirloom seeds?
If it’s that site I hear ads for on the radio, that appeals to survivalists, skip it.
Google “heirloom seeds”. There are many reputable companies that have been selling heirloom seeds for years. For example:
http://www.sustainableseedco.com/
You can look up varieties of heirloom seeds and see if they mesh but no, unless they are grown on a monitored plot, making sure they didn’t cross-pollinate with some other plant and are certified to be pure seed and the germination rate noted, you can’t be sure.
Large commercial companies that sell heirlooms would do that to assure purity. It is one thing to save your own seed and another to sell it with any sort of guarantee as to its purity.

LoneGOPinCT is the expert to ask for your seed question, but I see he hasn’t posted in quite a while. Maybe he’s ‘a-lurkin. ;)
I worked for this comapny for seven of the happiest years of my life. They do nothing but heirloom, open-pollinated seed that you can save from season to season, if you use proper distances to prevent cross-polination, etc. IOW, you gotta follow the directions, LOL!
Order your garlic NOW if you want it. It goes fast.
I trust them completely, and would be happy to share with you some of my favorites if you’d like. For many years my farm garden was a test plot for their seed varieties.
For heirloom tomatoes and seeds, I can totally vouch for this wonderful place: http://heirloomtomatoplants.com/ I know Laurel and her heirloom tomato plants rock. We still have 10 going in our garden.
