Since apparently I'm the only person on the planet that actually LIKES
the Burpee company, I shall come to their defense.  I think their
catalog is well thought out, and basically well written for the common
gardener.  Perhaps a bit sensational, but I can overlook that just as
easily as I do on the evening news.  Not all gardeners are looking for
the newest and most exotic plants.  Not all seeds have to come from rare
Himalayan plants that bloom the second Thursday in July once every ten
years. Some of us want simple, reliable, seed and plant sources for both
flowers and vegetables with a bit of sincere customer service thrown
in.  That has been my experience with Burpee.

I wish I could say that about most mail order firms I've encountered.

Just my 2 cents - standard disclaimers apply.
