The Links
that I use
There are huge lists available
from many sites - some of the big ones make up the first offerings
below. After that, the list will be those which I have found to
be particularly useful to me, but will doubtless soon start to expand
to include other people's recommendations. I will try to keep some
limits imposed, however, and will try to keep current those which
do make the list.
Biggies
The general lists that take you in one jump far beyond where
I can possibly go.The sites of interest to gardeners come first,
with a more botanical orientation lower down the list
Common name index B
and T
A common to scientific
name index with about 25,000 entries. B and T World Seeds, a French
company with a fantastic list of seeds on offer.

data on germination of annuals and biennials. This is the first
of three pages to complete the alphabetical listing
