The Landreth's Catalog

[boggybranch]

Got a VERY nice, large seed catalog from Landreth's today. Never even heard of them, before. Anyone have any experience (good or bad) with this company? The company has been 'around' for 225 years.

Never heard of them before but they sound interesting...

pulled this snippet off their website

Today, the D. Landreth Seed Company is the fifth oldest corporation in America. Among its many historic claims is the fact that the company sold seed to every American president from George Washington to Franklin D. Roosevelt. The Landreth story is the story of an American family business which was born near the time of Americas birth and grew with America over three centuries. It is a story of strong minded men and women of principle, fathers and mothers, sons and daughters who pursued a path of innovation and exploration with the pioneering spirit that will always be the essence of what makes this country great.

Wow, that makes me want to buy from them. I try to spread my order out over a few companies, so I might add that one to my list.

I've never heard of that company either, but i'm going to check it out.

The catalog is REALLY interesting...it's a "Commemorative Catalog" with the 'Original 1884 Catalog cover'. The whole catalog is like 'stepping back in time'.
Also has a LARGE section in the middle of glossy, color pictures....very nice.
