Re: Northwest Native Seed


The Ratko catalog has no pictures.  No mention is made of refund of catalog 
price upon order.  There is no phone number in the catalog, and I have never
found a website.

The strength of the catalog is finding items you never see in the nursery
trade, such as over 40 kinds of calochortus or 30 kinds of eriogonum.  I gather
that Ron goes on seed collecting trips from April 1 to about September, so it
sounds like a one-person operation.  This will be my first year to order, so I
can't comment on delivery speed or seed quality.  Hope this helps.  Ray Deutsch
