It's our own catalogue I'm thinking of, Judith. We want to keep it simple
to start with but as the plants we're going to sell via mail order will only
be the more rare and unusual ones, it would be interesting to have an
overall idea of what people look for in terms of information.


Name, where it will grow well, height, spread, any particular care
pattern (eg: pruning, feeding, watering etc)


Yes. All good ideas.

If you're going to add in history of plant, where it comes from, any
folk lore uses, tnen you'd be making it more interesting. Photos are
nice of course.


Hmmmm, it would be interesting but it might make it a bit long and literally
heavy! We're hoping to have a 'page' on the web site with all or most of
these on it but I think we've got to think of posting it out, too.


If the interesting stuff is on the website it probably isn't needed on
the catalogue too. But if you're doing the sort of keep catalogue with
a separate pricelist so people can keep it for years as a reference
then the info might assist.
Is it chiltern seeds who do the tall but narrow listing with no
pictures? I always thought that was a nice listing.
