Collector's & Bulb Lists
We are now putting out a fall bulb list and a collector's list each year. The bulb list will have over four hundred varieties of bulbs, from the common to the extremely rare. We try to put out two collector's lists a year. The first comes out between November and April and will list new plants, plants available in small quantities and bulbous plants that should be moved at that time of the year, while dormant. This list will be posted on the web site, not mailed. We also put out our main collectors list in July with our bulb list to list all the new plants we have ready then, so some of you don't have to wait a whole year for our next catalogue. This is the last year we will mail this out. It will be web based from now on. Our main catalogue will still be mailed.
