you got me anyways, didn't you Dan?..LOL...let me look some up when I get back later on...

Hudson seed company: http://www.jlhudsonseeds.net/
Broad range of all sorts of seed, including a lot of rare things that need preservation.

Kitazawa seed company: http://www.kitazawaseed.com/
Asian vegetable, big seed packs, fast shipping. Has stuff you won't find anywhere else.

Sandhill Preservation: http://www.sandhillpreservation.com/
Heirloom varieties of many types of veg. Limited selection of flowers but the ones they have are really nice. The zinnia mix is stunning. Great place to order a nice selection of heirloom tomatoes & squash. Gourds from them are great too.

Southern Exposure Seed Exchange: http://www.southernexposure.com/index.html
Look here for less common corn and bean types.

Johnny's: http://www.johnnyseeds.com/default.aspx
Johnny's is great for seed and garden tools. One thing I've found is if they describe a particular variety as recommended by them, it is always the best variety of that vegetable that you've ever eaten. Don't miss the Diva cucumbers and the Costata Romanesco squash from them.

Swallowtail seeds: http://www.swallowtailgardenseeds.com/
No printed catalog but a broad variety, often with bigger seed packs and better prices than others. The bulk section is also worth looking at if you are thinking about big plantings of something special.

Schreiner's Iris Gardens: http://www.schreinersgardens.com/
The full catalog costs $5.00 or comes free with purchase, but they also have a free mini catalog. Mini catalog will still give you plenty of hours worth of drooling over gorgeous irises!

Lynda

D. Landreth Seed Company, because I LOVE the ivory paper and the artwork and the design of the catalog. Its way to good to cut up for seed envy's.

spose I should buy something from them this year, eh?

My favorites are the following:
Prairie Moon Nursery-good selection of native plants and seeds, high seed count for the price, fast shipping.
Gardens North-Great selection of unusual and hard to find seeds, reasonable shipping.
SunnerHill Seeds-nice selection of unusual seeds with good prices and fast shipping.
Swallowtail Seeds-Large selection of annuals and perennials, reasonable shipping and fast delivery.
Dianes-great selection, fast shipping, reasonable prices.

Rhonda

This is a great post. I think you all must have any catalog available listed. :) I am ordering any I don't already get.

I have only ordered from T and M and Valueseeds. I really don't ever need the seeds I order but they tempt me.

Thanks for the help getting me through what is about to be a very long winter.

Margo

A company that I have ordered from a couple times and really like is 2B seeds. They don't have a print catalog, only online

Here is a link that might be useful: 2B seeds

Dan,
This is such a cool idea!

I love, love, love Plant World Seeds (http://www.plant-world-seeds.com/) The company is in the UK and they ship to the US. Great selection of unusual seeds.

Louise

I Love this swap Idea Dan!

Its a win-win for all of us. We get catalogs and you get to drum up biz for the boss!

:)

I"m going to recopy all of these so I have them..."hitting copy button and sticking them on a word perfect sheet"

I use many of the above, but I also order from Alplains.
They have seeds of uncommon and traditional varieties for the gardener. Alpine type plants. Great for rock gardens.
www.Alplains.com
They have over 100 varieties of Penstemons! Of course, it tells you which are for your zone!

Good Morning everyone ! One of the best things about being snowed in is I have some time to surf GW and request all the great catalogs listed here ! hee hee !

I don't think I saw it listed but one catalog I discovered recently when a fellow gardenwebber mentioned it on her wish list ....

www.cooksgarden.com

I already sent off for a copy , can't wait to get it so I can add to my own wish list !

Hope everyone is keeping warm this weekend ... we got 15 inches of snow since Fri night !

~Iris

I stumbled across this site and of course found things I must have :) Has anyone ever ordered from them? Was it a good experience? thanks all

http://www.bigdipperfarm.com/

I'm loving this swap, Dan! So many more sites to explore that I had never heard of. I will definitely have to make a spreadsheet and check them all out. I've already ordered a few catalogs from the ones listed near the top of the thread.

One of my favorite sites is Wildseed Farms. It is supposed to be the largest wildflower farm in the US.

Stay warm everyone!

Here is a link that might be useful: Wildseed Farms

I love Dianes seeds (already mentioned above) and Select Seeds (already mentioned above).....Some great suggestions here for some other places to do some seed shopping...thanks! Merry Christmas!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Annie

I also like Diane's seeds, Swallowtale and Jung. Here are some other plant or seed companies I like.

High Country Gardens - They send good sized plants for the price, and offer lots of hummingbird plants that I can't find anywhere else.

http://www.highcountrygardens.com/

White Flower Farm - Might be a little expensive, but the catalogs are drool-worthy, and they are often the first to offer a new shrub that I can't find anywhere else.

http://www.whiteflowerfarm.com/index.html

Brushwood Nursery - Good source for clematis or other climbing flowering plant.

http://www.gardenvines.com/shop/

Sample Seed Shop - Just found this company recently, has a good selection of unusual tomatoes and also flower garden seeds, most for a dollar.

http://sampleseeds.com/

Lois in PA

I just ordered about 10 catalogs, thanks everyone!!!

Don't forget Ed Hume Seeds, online catalog only.

http://store.valueweb.com/servlet/humeseeds/StoreFront

I have one to add, also.

www.seedforsecurity.com

Thanks for this great swap. I've spent way too much ordering catalogs and looking through online catalogs, not to mention ordering from one! LOL

I did find one that I fell in love with that wasn't mentioned yet, too. It's online only really, although they offer several catalogs of companies they represent. It's:

www.DirectGardening.com

They have great 1 cent sales where you buy one at their already low prices and get more for just a penny. I found a ton of good deals, both flowers and veggies, but by far my favorite was their great prices on fruit plants!

My disclaimer: I have never ordered from them before, so I can't say how good the company is or anything. ;-)

Blessings,
Angela

WOW! That's a lot of seed sites!

MY favorite is https://www.artisticgardens.com/catalog/

They have sample seeds for $.35. Great for trying out new varieties and for folks like me (BEFORE GW) who didn't need a whole lot of seeds.

I don't think I can think of any that aren't already listed. I'm in trouble now, I know I will be spending way to much time looking these all up. I've copied all the sites to a word document for future reference too.

Thanks Dan for starting this Catalogs Swap.

Sandy

Just wanted to share a good resource for checking out mail order companies. www.gardenwatchdog.com. People can go there and rate companies they have dealt with. Reading these reviews has surely saved me money and heartache when thinking of ordering from a company that seems too good to be true!

Johnny Seeds I highly recommend.

Park seeds, may be a duplicate but they have a great abduance of seeds.

Well mine has already been listed. I like burpees and parks

Dan - So... how have you been? and how is your black pussy willows doing?

Great to 'see' you all again. I have been offline for the past 2-3 months.

Tammy

I received the D. Landreth Seed Company catalog today. WOW! dorisl is right, it is a beautiful catalog. The ivory paper and old style illustrations are just the start. In the center of the catalog are photos of the vegies/flowers! I am so impressed! Can't believe you can get this for free! Thanks for the recommendation, dorisl!

~Kathy

Hi all! I was found this site:

About Iris Farm on the web and was wondering if anyone has ordered from before. There are no pics and he has a large amount of heirloom iris for very reasonable prices. Want to do an order but don't want to get burned.

www.aboutirisfarm.net

thanks!
vina

okay! hit the submit button too fast (again))

It should read that I just found this site...sorry :0)

Has anybody ordered from hardyseeds.com and if so what is your opinion?

if you mean hardyplants.com, they have great stuff, but they're slow & their customer service is nonexistent. placed my order 1/20, it was charged 1/21 & i got an email 2/24 saying my order was shipped. i sent 4 emails in between 1/20 & 2/24 asking for order status--they were all ignored. i haven't gotten my order yet so can't comment on seed counts or quality. it doesn't matter, anyway. i won't order from them again.

I loved finding this swap. I'm filing this for an I can't get outside week. Too much to check out in a day. I don't think I saw this one though.

TGN's Pumpkin Nook, sells Ferry Morse and Lilly Miller seed and Jiffy supplies along with other items. Not just pumpkins as the name would imply.

This is only an internet site but you can mail or call in your orders. They have excellent prices. Their seeds are less than what I would have to pay at a local store. They don't offer a huge selection but they do have organics and heirlooms. Another plus is Ferry Morse seeds are guaranteed to grow. You have to check out the Ferry Morse site to read that. Shipping on seeds is a flat rate of $2.79 per order. Less than a gallon of gas in most places. Other items ship at a different rate. I've always had excellent service as well.

Thanks Dan, you are the Man. I mean mailman.

I love JL Hudson seeds - unbelievably fast shipping and they have varieties that are not just the "common" ones. Not like I need any more seeds - especially when there's Diane's Seeds online and T's Seeds and things to provide me with more temptation.

My driveway is definitely a testimony to my inability to stay away from ordering more seeds...all that WSing.

Jaynine, sorry your experience with hardyplsnts.com was bad. Mine was good. I received mine in a timely fashion and I was very happy with the seed count. much more so then parkseeds which I am absolutely done with.

the seeds are sprouting as well!!!!

I like Red Rock Nursery.

They're seeds are "common" I suppose, but super cheap...
1.30 a pack with free shipping and no minimum order.

I am surprised no one has mentioned Seeds Of Change
Their seeds have great germination and vigor

Oh, red rock has wonderful germination rate and good customer support too.

I always start more seeds than I need so I can plant the best-
Now I have 30 tomato plants with room for 14. :/

Time to buy some containers! :)
