Interesting Finds - Inbound Seed Catalogs

Wow!  Many seed catalogs inbound.  I loved looking over the Baker Seeds catalog; such colorful pictures.  Who knew the heirloom seed business could be so profitable.  Neat catalog though.  I have a better appreciation for Territorial Seed once I learned to compare seed package quantities more closely; also Territorial always seems to have some unusual items.  To save me from the mindless wandering of looking for and through catalogs again - these are things that caught my eye as interesting.
