Shumway's Rule!

R.H.Shumway's catalog takes me back 50 years when everything had real flavor. Of course, their stuff still tastes great!

Favorite Seed & Plant Catalog

The best I have found for regular and unusual varieties is Richters Herb Farm, Goodwood, Ontario, CANADA.

—Guest Maddy

I have just about tried them all!

Just last year ordered from Michigan and was greatly disappointed in the size of plants, they were so small and at that price, I probably would have paid local for 1/2 gal size. Lesson learned, the gogi berry I asked for a replacement and they never responded. Rictors in Canada has the coolest stuff, but their return/replacement policy sucks! I have been gardening since 66, so kinda have gotten around. Things have gotten stricter now with the economy. There was one company I was looking for here that had a lifetime guarantee, can’t remember who they were?

I always order the Burgess catalog. It has the old fashioned seeds you can't find in the others, like strawberry popcorn and gourds.
