Catalogues are convenient and valuable aids for planning a garden and accessing unusual edibles and ornamentals. Many mail order businesses offer unique and exclusive varieties. But keep in mind that local garden centers are handy, community-based sources for a good selection of seeds, plants and garden supplies. Unless a price is listed, the catalogue is free.
