Five pages of herb seeds and three pages of herb plants available certainly bear out the first half of this, and they do offer many rare and unusual seeds as well as hybrids, heirlooms and popular favorite open-pollinated varieties. As befits their location, they indicate which varieties do well in short and variable season areas. Other features include an oriental vegetable section, recipes scattered throughout the catalog, a "new and unusual" vegetable section, six pages of flowers and wildflowers, gardening and cooking tools, spices and herbal teas, books, and homebrew and winemaking supplies. The seed prices are in the 0.85 - 1.50 range depending of course on rarity, supply, etc. I enjoyed this catalog very much and, indeed, had an order from it ready about half an hour after I received it in the mail.
