HOW TO USE THIS WEB SITE

Welcome to our web page. We hope you find this helpful in learning more about the various seeds we sell. All our seeds are listed by genus, species, origin and variety (when applicable). You can order by email, fax, phone or mail. Please note we are still filling in seed information. If you need information on an item in our catalog that has not been included, please email us and we will advise promptly. Most importantly, we want to hear from you. Your comments on our web page are welcome, as is any information you might have about the many species of seed we sell. We rely on our customers for many of the growing tips as well as plant details.

VIEWING THE CATALOG - Click on view the catalog. Three options appear for finding and viewing seed details.

  • Letter A begins seed catalog entries. Scrolling down the page and clicking on continue brings up the next alphabetical seed listing. In this way you can scroll through the entire catalog. When you find a seed of interest, click in the species name, and a box will pop up with specific seed information. You can email an order from this pop up box. You can email a question from this pop-up box. Any seed-specific comments to help us complete and expand on seed details are welcome. Remember to name the seed you are discussing. To return to the main catalog, click on close. You can continue to scroll, or choose another option. To view the prior page, scroll backwards.


  • Enter the genus (or the first 3 letters of the seed) in the specify genus box. Click on submit to display the first genus that matches the specific letters you have entered. (To view seed-specific details, scroll down to the desired seed and click on the species name. You can continue to scroll or exit, as detailed in Option 1, when done.) To view the prior page, click the 'previous' button at the bottom of the page.


  • Using the alphabet letters at the top of the page, click on the first letter of the seed genus you are interested in. For example, if you choose “M” you will be brought to the genus Maackia. You can now scroll down alphabetically to view the seed list. Specific seed details may be viewed as described in Option 1.


  • REMINDER: For specific information on a particular seed, click on that seed and seed specific details will be shown in a pop up box. These values are for comparison only and no warranty is expressed or implied.

    SEARCHING FOR SEEDS* - This is a tool you can use when you know what you want but not the specific seed to fit your needs. Choose one or several required characteristics and then click on submit. All seeds in our catalog that meet your requirements will be listed. For example, if you choose “cold hardy to zone 3, native plant, evergreen, used as a Christmas tree, blue needles,” you will be shown a list of seeds meeting these requirements. You can then view seed-specific details of the chosen seed by clicking on the species. When done, you can go back to search for seeds and choose new characteristics. This tool of our web page takes the longest to load and the longest to process but can be a big help.

    REVIEW FOR SEED SEARCH: (1) Choose the required seed or plant-specific details. (2) Click on search. (3) All catalog listings for that seed will appear. You can view seed-specific details by clicking on the seed species. You can click back, change a characteristic and try again, or go to a different area of the web page. *Please note: We are still inputting information. Search results may not list all applicable seeds.

    REQUESTING A CATALOG - A catalog can be requested by clicking on request catalog and completing the form. A catalog will be mailed to you. We do not sell email addresses or mailing addresses of our customers or those who request catalogs/newsletters from us.
