Source Guide 2001 - mail-order seed companies and nurseries - Directory

Flower & Garden Magazine, Jan, 2001

The mail-order seed companies and nurseries listed here assisted in compiling our New Plants 2001 feature. They range from small, specialty nurseries to generalists that sell almost anything related to the garden. Besides plants and seed, most companies on the list carry other garden-related products, such as tools, books and fertilizers.

Please note that many companies charge for their catalog or seed list, so phone or write the appropriate company for more information. Also of importance, in parenthesis, the plant or plants that each company specializes in are listed.

In addition to these retail firms, several wholesale companies contributed information for our New Plants feature: Blooms of Bressingham North America, The Conard-Pyle Co., Monrovia, Renee's Garden, Seminis Garden and Yoder Brothers, Inc. These wholesalers do not sell directly to the public--look for their plant introductions at your local garden center.
