Using a Seed Magazine to Buy Seeds and Bulbs From Seed Companies

Using a seed magazine to buy seeds and bulbs from seed companies is the most cost efficient and time efficient way to create a glorious garden for spring. For the optimum flower display in spring, you need to order and plant your bulbs in fall. Mail-order seed catalogues provide the biggest selection of seeds and bulbs available from seed companies to do exactly that.

How to Get the Best Starting Seeds Possible From a Reputable Seed Company

Email or call seed companies and obtain a couple of mail-order seed catalogs. If you don't have favorites that you can call from the top of your head, look for ads in garden magazines or peruse books on seeds and bulbs from your local library for contact details.

Scan the seed catalogs, noting bulbs and seeds you might consider for your garden. Base your choices on color, bloom time, height, and ability to grow in sun or shade, and climate adaptation.

Calculate how many bulbs and seeds you will need before you make any purchases. You might need to double check how close the seeds and bulbs can be planted so you know how many you need for each planting area. The catalog or magazine will normally give you this information.

If you are looking for garden color in fall then select the more hardy spring-flowering seeds and bulbs, such as daffodils, tulips and hyacinths. Similarly select begonias and gladiolus, for spring delivery and planting.

When comparing the catalogs double check each companies delivery information including times, guarantees, packaging and costs.

Once you have decided what you would like to order, complete the companyÕs order form and mail your order form and payment. Then sit back and wait for your new garden to arrive!
