| Hi Sandy, I like Spring Hill and Michigan Bulb. I haven't had a problem with either. Linda |

| A few years back, I got a Totally Tomatoes Catalog. I ordered a few seeds, sending in my order with payment, as opposed to ordering on line. By that fall, they had passed my name on to others, and I got a total of 24 different gardening catalogs in the mail. That was all it took. Most have since stopped mailing to me though, since I didn't order from any of them, but I still get them from several places. I don't buy any plants via mail, but instead search all nurseries in passing for new stuff, and discounted plants. Sue...always on 'the lookout' for bargains everywhere |

| Brecks premium bulbs wonderful guarentee that you never have to use. And some decent coupons that make it almost affordable. I have not had any really good experiences with any of the seed catalogs. And I've tried alot of them. I would make the following suggestion. That they tell you how many seeds are in their packages. Because Whatnot.com and others only send a very few seeds so their good deal ends up being a rip off. Also check the shipping costs. What some of the companies do is make the seeds very cheap and then sock you on the shipping and handling charges. Grrrrrrh. I now always check E-Bay before I buy. Some great deals there. Good luck and let me know which ones work really well for you. |
