• Seed_company abstract "Seed companies produce and sell seeds for flowers, fruit and vegetables to theamateur gardener. The production of seed is a multi billion dollar business, which usesgrowing facilities and growing locations world wide. While most seed is produced by largespecialist growers, large amounts are produced by small growers that produce only one to a fewcrop types. These larger companies supply seed both to commercial resellers and wholesalers.The resellers and wholesalers sell to vegetable and fruit growers, and to companies who packageseed into packets and sell them on to the amateur gardener.Most seed companies or resellers that sell retail, produce a catalog – generally published during early winter for seed to be sown the following spring. These catalogs are eagerlyawaited by the amateur gardener, as during winter months there is little that can be done in thegarden, so this time can be spent planning the following year’s gardening. The largest collection of nursery and seed trade catalogs in the U.S. is held at the National Agricultural Library. The earliest catalogs there date from the late 18th century, with most published from the 1890s to the present. Shakers were among the earliest commercial producers of garden seeds; the first seeds sold in paper packets were produced by the Watervliet Shakers.Seed companies produce a huge range of seeds from highly developed F1 hybrids to openpollinated wild species. Many gardeners like to stick to old familiar varieties but each year seedcompanies produce new varieties for gardeners to try. They have extensive research facilities toproduce plants with better genetic materials that result in improved uniformity and gardeningappeal. These improved qualities might include disease resistance, higher yields, dwarf habit andvibrant or new colors. These improvements are often closely guarded to protect them from beingutilized by other producers, thus plant cultivars are often sold under their own names and byinternational laws protected from being grown for seed production by others.\tAlong with the growth in the allotment movement, and the increasingpopularity of gardening, there have emerged many small independent seed companies. Many ofthese are active in seed conservation and encouraging diversity. Theyoften offer organic and openpollinated varieties of seeds as opposed to hybrids. Many of these varieties areheirloom varieties. The use of old varieties will continue to maintain diversity in thehorticultural gene pool. There is a good case for amateur gardeners to useolder (heirloom) varieties as the modern seed types are often the same as those grown bycommercial producers, and so characteristics which are useful to them (e.g. vegetables ripeningat the same time) may be unsuited to home growing.".
