This page contains links outside Washington State University which provide an option for finding further information. No endorsement of products or information at these sites is implied.
These are a few of the Internet links I've found
for information and ordering via
the Internet. There is a strong Pacific Northwest/Intermountain weight to these
sites. The order is mostly random and indicates no preferences. Before ordering,
check out companies first, at sites such as The
Garden Watchdog or GardenWeb, and
use your own judgement.
