3. Sending away for mail order catalogues

So, how to order from mail order catalogues?

The first step is to send away for some.

• Many of these are free. Some cost a dollar or two, but often this price is refunded when you place a minimum order. Note the country of the company, and be sure to send payment in the correct currency.

• You can get the addresses of them from several sources. The December or January issues of most gardening magazines will have some listed. Usually Canadian Gardening's December/January issue has a large section listing many mail order companies, and also some great how-to's. The terrific I Can Garden web site has an extensive list of catalogues, and includes links to many companies who are now online.

• Here are a couple to get you started (note: these were randomly selected, I have no personal experience with these companies. Addresses were correct in Jan.98, check before sending money):
