seed catalog

Garden ordering booklet

A seed catalog is a publication listing seeds available for purchase, typically from a nursery or garden supply company.

Traditional seed catalogs arrive by mail in late winter, featuring photographs and descriptions of vegetables, flowers, and herbs: I spent the afternoon dreaming over the seed catalog.

The term extends to online versions and serves as a symbol of gardening anticipation.
