I ve always loved that quote, my friends, for its simplicity speaks volumes about the miracle of gardening. It was written by Edith Hamilton, a European-born American classicist who must have watched with wonder, as have you and I, as seed turns to sprout, and sprout to bloom. And how appropriate it is this year in particular, when the change of millennium encourages us to open ourselves to every aspiration.
Gardening is a quiet art.
Rather than shout for your attention, we offer you the professional seed quality, unparalleled savings and customer services that are our signs of respect. For example, we included some Special Savings and Free Seed Offers for the first time last year, and thousands of you enjoyed new varieties with our compliments. This year we continue to say Thank You to our customers with a similar offers. I must confess to having some personal favourites among the extensive selection in this year s catalogue. Then there s the new Alstromeria Andean Hybrids, and the Asarina Red Dragon, two astounding originals that I could envision immediately in my own garden.
