(1:280/322) Subj : Seed Conservation - Heirloom Seed Catalog List For anyone interested in how crossbreeding and biotechnology are affecting our food crops, there's a very good article in October 1993 _Vegetarian Times_ (P.O. Box 570, Oak Park, IL 60303, 1-800-435-9610) The article discusses how many, many varieties of plants are going extinct and how that leaves us vulnerable to disasters like the Irish Potato Famine and 1971's Southern Corn Leaf Blight. Also talks about conservation efforts, including government-run "seed banks" (which apparently are pretty useless - not surprising, considering who's running them). A lot of the conservation efforts are going on at the backyard level, with several small seed companies and non-profit organizations involved. A list is below, incorporating info from the article and from rec.garden's herb.faq. The below companies sell heirloom and/or open-pollinated seeds (according to this article, "...the seed of open-pollinated plants can be saved for subsequent plantings, unlike hybrid seeds, which do not breed true-to-form and therefore must be bought anew next year...Large seed companies prefer hybrids because they can sell more seed...)

The type of corn that is best suited for this purpose woulds be a type called a FLOUR CORN. Kernals of flour corn are easier to grind than flint or dent corn, milling easily to a soft flour. It's grown primarily in the Southwest and the Northern Plains. It's available with kernals that are either blue/purple, multi-colored, red/pink, white, yellow, and black.

Date: 27 Jan 92 23:59:42 GMT Just started to mark up my copy of the Nichol's Garden Nursery catalog (herbs and rare seed specialists) 1190 North Pacific Highway, Albany, OR, 97321. Haven't seen this catalog for years, and I guess I forgot all the lovely strange things they carry: For instance: Nepeta mussini, a low-growing rock garden catnip that my cats seem to think is the cat-equivalent of Acapulco gold. Coriander or Cilantro: a slow-bolting form Epazote: Chenopodium ambrosoides Good King Henry: Chenopodium bonus-henricus Anise hyssop: Agastache foeniculus. Licorice-scented leaves, nice blue flowers the bees love (no, you don't get licorice flavored honey). Tagetes lucida: a 3' marigold that makes a pretty good substitute for tarragon. Sweet Woodruff: for Mai-wine and potpourri Pyrethrum: grow your own. Some things I think I recall people asking about/talking about recently: Fraxinella (gas plant) Hops (for flavoring beer and ale) (yes, they are the other genus in the Cannabinaceae (or Cannabaceae, take your pick) -- anyhow, first cousin to marijuana Saffron crocus bulbs Walking onions Elephant garlic yellow potatos (bintje is great in potato salad!) yard long beans (no, green, not purple) celtuce miniature sweet corn (advise picking no more than 5 days after silks appear) jicama tomatillo 11 cvs hot pepper 12 cvs sweet pepper (incl. pepperoncini) Oddities that caught my eye: black radish (black skin, white flesh) Oregon Spring and Santiam tomatoes, two determinant types that are parthenocarpic. In poor growing conditions, fruits will be seedless. About 10 days *earlier* than Early Girl. Lion's ears (Leonotus nepetifolia): a 3-5 ft mint plant with whorls of orange flowers. The hummingbirds like this South African native. Lobelia 'Compliment Scarlet': a tetraploid cross between L. fulgens and L. cardinalis. Should be large (1-1.5") bright red flowers that hummingbirds ought to find irresistible. Chinese lantern plant (Physalis alkakengi): "husk tomatoes" with bright orange husks. Made about $100 one year selling that to florists on $1 worth of seed... Bushel gourd: a lageneria with fruits to 20" across. also LOTS of oriental veggies....

Liberty Seed PO Box 806 New Philadelphia, OH 44663 phone (216) 364-1611 fax (216) 364-6415 lots of "mainstream veggies" and a fair amount of wildflower and ornamental seeds. Interesting plants for drying. Prices about 1/2-3/4 of "rack" prices for packeted seeds (Burpee, NK, etc.) around here. Also will sell largish quantities of seed to ordinary people at wholesale prices (usually 25-50% off). (e.g., 4 oz beets $2.45, but 1 lb for $5.35) $1 handling per order east of Rockies. Add $0.20 per pound rest of Rockies. Article 5004 (77 more) in rec.gardens: From: Kay Klier Subject: More strange plants... Date: 28 Jan 92 00:09:18 GMT 'Nother neat catalog: Liberty Seed Company, PO Box 806, New Philadephia, OH 44663. Lots of good, basic seeds, including 34 cultivars of sweet corn, and some FUN seeds like: Ornamental wheat for weaving and bouquets: black heads and black awns white heads and black awns white heads and white awns and 'Gigas': 3 1/2" heads with 1" long spikelets (HUGE!!) and grey or black awns. Podcorn: like a regular ear of field corn, but with "husks" surrounding each kernal. Broomcorn: not a corn, but a sorghum with long infloresence branches. It's the stuff real "cornbrooms" are made from. Since the tips of the inflorescences are covered with shiny yellow, red, brown, mahogany or black "seeds", they've apparently been considered decorative by the florists.

They happily reseed all over, and grow like--um, weeds. Which, if you didn't know what they were, is what you'd think of them.

A couple of weeks ago I posted a request for information on a source of seeds for the Chinese Tallow Tree. As promised, here is a summary of (all 3) responses. [text deleted] Scientific name is Sapium sebiferum, of the Euphorbiaceae. Don't know where to find it, but Hortus III indicates that it is naturalized in the southern US. Also sold as "vegetable tallow tree" I have never seen the seeds for sale, but I have seen the tree (I believe), all over Hawaii. According to _CORNUCOPIA: A Source Book of Edible Plants_ by Stephen Facciola (ISBN 0-9628087-0-9), seeds for the chinese tallow tree (Sapium sebiferum) are available from the following mail-order sources (sorry, none in GA). ---------- J.L.

His catalog is _great_ reading... it always leaves me with a very bad case of acreage-lust (I want enough garden space to grow two of _everything_). Nice folks, too... I usually enclose a letter with my order letting them know how my previous year's plants turned out, and I've always gotten a note back in response (usually from Hudson himself). The Zapotec Collection contains some very interesting varieties... I really love the Manzano Amarillo chile (fuzzy leaves, apple-shaped green fruits turning yellow/orange when ripe, flavorful, and VERY HOT). Seeds Blum Idaho City Stage Boise, Idaho These folks get #very# badly backlogged in the spring. I usually get their catalog right around Christmas time, and I've learned to send in the order immediately... one year I waited until the end of February to order, and my seeds took over eight weeks to arrive. They're a good source of heirloom and traditional vegetable varieties... no F1 hybrids at all. Pinetree Garden Seeds Lewiston Road New Gloucester, Maine 04260 W.

Did I TP> just talk myself into a job? After we discussed this, I was thinking of where I might find some more information about hybrids. Well I was over at the shop, which connects to my mothers apartment, and I went over there to use the reading room. Low and behold (literally) laying on the floor was a neat little catalog with a wealth of info about the types of seeds that we require for storage, and for that matter have many advantages over hybrid seeds, seeds which are open- pollinated. They sell many types of OP seeds including Heirloom, those prior to 1940, Family Hybrids, seeds that have been handed down for centuries from generation to generation, new varieties, rare, and some hybrids. They have herbs, flowers, grains, and vegetables, as well as information and sales of storage techniques for short, medium, and long term storage. It said that you could grow seeds from hybrid planets, but you would not know what you might get. Then if you endeavored to breed theses strains into something stable, it takes from 6 to 10 years. So it could take forever (literally if you life depends on it) to breed the right plant for your area. Where as the hybrids are breed for commercial use for things like maximum output at optimum conditions, uniform size and color, sometimes with no thought about taste, and maturation time just to name a few. Where open-pollinated varieties have been breed for the areas that they are grow in, and have advantages like the fact that they still produce a good yield even when things have not been optimal, as well as that a gardener might not want his crop to come on at the same time, plus we all know they taste better. There is also information on how to join several seed exchanges that you can join to get seeds that was breed for your area, and so that this important gene pool can be kept healthy. Well the companies name is "Southern Exposure Seed Exchange" and a catalogue can be had by calling (804)-973-4703. It says it has a price of $3.oo, but when I called they just took my name and address and said they would send me one. ___ Blue Wave/QWK v2.10 --- Maximus 2.01wb * Origin: FLOTOM * Austin, Tx * (512)282-3941 HST/DS @16.8 (9:1992/2) Ä SUST_AG (1:352/111) ÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄ ECHOMAIL015 Ä Msg : 134 of 143 From : Lawrence London 1:151/502 Tue 26 Jan 93 02:50 To : ALL Subj : Canadian seed catalogues.
