[net.wanted] Source for Herb Seeds?

kathleen@ihuxw.UUCP (K. S. Romanowski) (04/17/84)

Can anyone provide me with a retail or catalog source for herb seeds?
I am interested in growing fresh herbs and harvesting them for use
in recipes which call for only fresh ingredients.  (I am not against
using dried ingredients; I only want to try new recipes.)

Any posting can be done to the net, as there may be other interested
people.

Thanks in advance.

All the major garden catalogues I've seen have most common herb
seeds (Burpee's especially comes to mind).  A source for more
unusual varieties is Nichol's (sp?) Garden Nursery in Albany, Oregon.
I don't know the address, but Oregon information should have their
phone number.

When I had them a few years ago the Nichols' and Taylor's catalogues were
really good.  Another interesting catalogue comes from Capriland's Herb

few years ago.  The address is:
