HEIRLOOM SEEDS - over 800 varieties of non-hybrid seeds including heirloom vegetable seeds, heirloom flower seeds and heirloom herb seeds.
Description
Located in South Western Pennsylvania, we are a small, family run seed house that has been in the mail order business since 1988. When we started this business, our first priority was to offer old fashioned vegetables noted for their taste. All of the varieties we offer are open pollinated (non hybrid) and have been grown by generations of backyard gardeners. The flower varieties that we offer have that simple, old fashioned beauty of days gone by. We added herb seeds to our catalog after many requests from our customers to do so. We have a network of gardeners throughout the United States that are constantly testing the varieties we offer for sale, to ensure they do well in a backyard garden setting. Many of the seeds we offer have come from backyard gardeners, whose families have saved the seeds for generations, throughout the United States, Canada, Mexico and overseas. We sell quality seeds (meet or exceed federal standards) at low prices. Our service is the fastest in the business.
Remember those tomatoes your Grandmother grew, or the ones that the farmer down the road used to sell at his roadside stand? With the advent of hybrid seeds, the older open-pollinated varieties are getting harder to find. While the hybrids have many advantages (disease resistance, greater productivity, more uniform fruit, etc.) they just can't match the heirlooms for taste, and isn't that why you grow your own vegetables? With a little extra care and planning, the heirloom varieties can do just as well as the hybrids in your backyard garden. As for flower varieties, many of today's nurseries consistently offer the same varieties year after year, with little variation. The older varieties seem to have taken a back seat to the newer, flashier varieties. This year, why not try some of the simple old fashioned varieties in your garden? We think you will be pleasantly surprised! Don't forget to plant a few herbs, as well. They'll complement your fresh produce nicely on the dinner table. After tasting your own freshly picked herbs, you'll readily agree to their superior taste! Once you try them, you'll always insist on growing your own!!
Sorry to say, but there is no "exact" definition for this term. In fact, there have been entire books dedicated to this subject and still there is no agreement between gardeners as to what constitutes an heirloom and what does not.
