 Hi, Gordon
         I receive catalogs (and plants & seeds) from Prairie Nursery, PO Box 306,
 Westfield, Wi 53964.  I can't see any mention of cost for the catalog in the latest one
 I have.  In addition to bulk seed sales, (althiough the seeds probably don't come from
 the same stock that was native to your land) they have a great deal of info on just how
 to start a prairie as well as what plants are native to which types of prairie.
         I admit I didn't follow their advice very well when I started my small prairie 
 yrs ago and may live to regret it.  I'll know this year if there are too many other
 weeds competing with seedlings, but it is a small area and such problems should be easy
 to correct.  Much different situation than 20 acres!
 
 Good luck,
 Jean, sw Wisconsin
