Date: Fri, 2 Oct 1992 14:37 CDT From: KLIER@iscsvax.uni.edu GENERAL SEED CATALOGS: NORTH AMERICAN (and a few plant catalogs, and a few British and Swedish firms) revision of 2 October, 1992 Bob Batson provided the list that was the basis of this FAQ. Comments are mainly his. Jim Bishop, Steve Holder, Mike Huben, Risto Paasivirta, Beverly Erlebacher, Ceci Henningsson added others. Another good place to hunt seed catalog addresses is the list published annually in a winter issue of _Flower and Garden_ Magazine. Most spring seed catalogs are issued in late December/early January. Some additions and comments by Kay Klier; typos are probably hers! Unless otherwise indicated, assume the catalog covers a general range of seeds, including flowers, vegetables and herbs. Beginning gardeners are advised to obtain and study the catalogs that are marked as especially useful for novices; you'll get good basic gardening information (mostly for free!). The White Flower Farm catalogs are also well-written information on growing perennials, shrubs and trees. You may find yourself saving these as reference materials. Native North American species, specialist lists, catalogs of plants, bulb catalogs, and herb catalogs are covered in their respective FAQL's.
