I noticed that there is no thread about folk's favorite seed catalogues. Perhaps this is a good opportunity to share.

I will share a couple, but before I do, I am LOOKING for a catalogue. Perhaps someone here knows what I am looking for.

Several years ago I received and ordered from a catalogue that was obviously primarily for farmers. They sold seeds in packets, but also by the pound. They had not only garden seeds, but seeds that normally only a farmer would be interested in, like bush beans that all mature at the same time, which facilitates harvesting for market.

I am interested in two specific seeds: 1) the green beans mentioned above, and 2) a variety of sorghum. Any ideas what my farmers' seed catalogue might be called?

Now for a couple of local catalogues that are pretty good, especially for the Pacific Northwest.
- https://nicholsgardennursery.com/    For years Nichols Garden Nursery was located in Albany, OR, but last year they moved to Philomath Oregon. They have a very good variety of everything that grows well in western Oregon and Washington.

- https://territorialseed.com/    Territorial Seed Company is located up river in Cottage Grove, Oregon. Features seed developed specifically for western Oregon and Washington.

Johnny's carries lots of varieties of interest to home gardeners and lots of varieties for market production.

It would give a normal human mental abilities to rival mine. To think it is just a tiny ad:
