Seed catalog meets needs

I read -- with great enjoyment and edification -- your article about seed catalogs [“Our Kind of Summer Reading,” Aug. 4]. One of the catalogs I use most often is Pinetree Garden Seeds. The main reason for this is that it offers seeds at prices that seem less than half of other companies. Many of the packets cost only 60 or 70 cents.

Of course they contain fewer seeds, but I have a small vegetable garden, and even these small packets are more than enough.

Pinetree is located in the East, but I think you would like looking at their catalog: www.superseeds.com/home.htm.
