Fedco Seeds

– Posted in: Catalog review

I only order from Jungs as a last resort. But have you checked out Fedco Seeds? They have your Hydrangea, and incredible seeds cheap. They only download catalogs, so until we got cable, I couldn't really look. Amazing!!!!

Seeds

– Posted in: Catalog review

A couple months ago Marianne was raving about some pole bean you and her really liked. Something about it never really getting overmature? The Borlotto Pole Beans sounds familiar, was that what she was talking about? I usually just buy all of my vegetables from Johnny's, because they have a really good catalogue for beginners. [...]

Jung Seeds

– Posted in: Catalog review

I have to admit I'm ambivalent about Jung. The prices are very appealing, but you know that saying, "You get what you pay for?" The last time I ordered flower seed from Jung, it seemed it hadn't been rogued out very good. The 'Seashell' cosmos didn't have many with seashells, and I think some other [...]

The Cook’s Garden

– Posted in: Catalog review

The Cook's Garden arrived in my mailbox today. I have always had success with their seeds, and I like the selection they offer, but frankly, they have to compete with Johnny's for my seed purchases, and usually Johnny's wins. Johnny's seems to be more directly aimed at the cold climate grower; I can't remember which [...]

Parks Seeds Came Today

– Posted in: Catalog review

Parks is owned by Wayside, which also owns The Cook's Garden. If they own anything else, let me know. I like to keep track of these liasons. Did you know there are two versions of the Park's catalog? A bigger one and a smaller one. I think I have the bigger one. It's 132 pages [...]

Bluestone Perennials

– Posted in: Catalog review

The Bluestone Perennials catalog came today. This company sells plants in three- and six-cell packs at lower prices. I cut my baby gardening teeth on Bluestone's plants. They were common enough that I could be sure they were easy to grow, and affordable enough that I wasn't afraid of killing them. Way back in 1987 [...]

Catalog Cascade

– Posted in: Catalog review

Yes, they've already started. I got Pinetree Garden Seeds and Thompson & Morgan before Thanksgiving. Today it was McClure & Zimmerman, Seymour's Selected Seeds, Totally Tomatoes, and Vermont Bean Seed Company. I believe they are all owned by the Jung Seed Company, which also seems to own Roots & Rhizomes, Horticultural Products and Services, and [...]

Kathy, The Shumway catalog most

– Posted in: Catalog review

Kathy, The Shumway catalog most people get is the large newsprint folder. I'm talking about the catalog from the Horticultural Products and Services Div. It's almost a wholesale-type catalog. Large amounts of seed at a reasonable price. The toll free # is 1-800-322-7288. Check out Hollyhock 'Black Currant Whirl'! I have seeded in all their [...]

Kathy, First of all, if

– Posted in: Catalog review, Uncategorized

Kathy, First of all, if I listed ALL the companies I order from, it would be too embarrasing. But one of my favorites is Seeds of Change out of Santa Fe, NM. Commitment to offering the highest quality organically grown, open-pollinated seed is what initially drew me to this company. It's a bonus that all [...]
