Abstract:

Seed catalogs do more than sell seeds. In this country they date back to the early 1800s, and the Smithsonian has a collection of some 10,000. In the pages are found information about plant history, planting and harvest times, growing habits, pest control, and other items. Chase includes a brief description and the URL for some of her favorite catalogs--Baker Creek Heirloom Seeds, Territorial Seed Company, and John Scheepers Kitchen Garden Seeds.
