Mail Order Catalogs
How to Contact Them
And Opinions Thereof

If you have had experience with any mail-order company, good or bad, share them! Your experiences will help other gardeners. I'll include them in the on-line database. If you don't want me to share your email address, please tell me. Send comments, corrections, and additions to .

Companies are coming on-line gradually, with E-mail addresses or Web sites, or both. If you know of either, please include it when you write. Valid web addresses will be linked on the FAQ, so you can bounce from FAQ to catalog and back, at your leisure.

The USENET version of the FAQ, will contain only names, to save space. You can E-mail me for more information on any listed company.

For each company, you'll find their name, mailing address, phone number, a general description of what they sell, and in many cases, opinions. Opinions are strictly the authors', unless otherwise noted. I will not indicate an opinion unless one of us (Peter or me) has actually ordered something from a company, unless the opinion is someone else's. [Comments] means that comments exist for this company, [+] means that this company is recommended, based on our personal experience, [-] means that this company is NOT recommended, based on our personal experience, and [Order] means we have personally ordered from this company.
