Just a heads up that Dollar Tree has the American Seed Company seeds in for 2009. They are 10 packets for $1
I'm not sure every Dollar Tree is selling seeds, as my local store did not get any in last year. I have not been in that particular store yet this year to verify if they got any or not. |

| It is mostly your 'staple', familiar type of vegetable and flower seeds. A couple of the pockets were entirely already bought-out, so I am not sure what seeds those were. Whoever beat me to the display must have cleaned house on whatever those seeds were. |

| they were 4/$1 here near DC where everything is more expensive. Most drugstores had cheap seeds too. CVS, Rite Aid, etc. Kmart had 40% off most seeds. |

| Wow.. my local Dollar Tree got hit BIG with the seed purchases. The cardboard displays are so 'devoured' it is unbelievable what difference a week makes. |

| Not as cheap as the dollar tree, but not advertised (at least in my local store!) I was in rite aid today and the spring isle was under construction and the seed rack was placed way back just as you enter the isle, so I nearly missed it! and in fact did miss it yesterday when I was in there, it took the eagle eyes of a 4 year old to see it! the seeds are a unmarked brand on the front and priced at 99c, on the back it says they are a product of the ferry-morse seed company, well I am a sucker for buying seeds and thought why not? brought 2 packets on paying found they where actually ringing up at 20c? I pointed it out, but the girl said, no thats what we are selling them at, it wasn't marked on the display and the display was possitivly heaving with seed packets, presumably because it not yet been advertised? hope this helps people who missed out on the dollar tree, like me! not quite as good a deal but more choice (at the moment) |

| Our local Walmart had American Seed (plantation) for $.20 back in late Feb - early March. I doubt if there is much left now. They also had a large selection of Burpee seeds, some of the prices cheaper than the catalog. Our HD had a good supply of seeds that I thought were reasonable priced. I thought Lowe's prices were on the high side and they still had alot left last week. Good gardening, Mary |

| Yes, but what were the germination rates of all these seeds, and how was the quality of the resulting plants? I hate to buy a packet of seeds for 20c if only three or four seeds turned into viable plants.. i may have saved money, but not my time. |

| I've had excellent germination and great plant growth from most every $.10 and $.20 seed packet I've bought...and I've bought alot of them. Some do not contain very many seeds, though. That is fine with me since I don't need 100's of most seeds for my backyard garden. I'd rather have a few of many different varieties and the cheap packets make it possible for me to do that. If I know I want alot of seeds of a variety I'll buy a pack and check how many are in it and then get a few more if more are needed... still a great deal at 3 x $.10. Right now I have petunias, snapdragons, marigolds (two varieties), cosmos (two varieties), zinnias (two varieties), morning glory, basil, sage, parsley, dill, two varieties of tomatoes, beans (not really enough seeds in one packet for me so I just buy a couple more), carrots, watermelon, plus several other things growing and producing well from ten and twenty cent packets. For specialty items and hybrids I'll pay more but for basic OP varieties I'm very happy to grow these "cheap" seeds. |
