The hidden costs
First, there's the cost of connecting to the Internet through a service provider to reach those "free" Web-sites.

But - more importantly - how much is your time worth to you? With Garden Catalog PROFILES, there's no waiting while the computer is logging on, no dropped connections or busy modem lines. No "Web surfing" - trying not to get diverted while you search endlessly for some bit of useful information.

Garden Catalog PROFILES lets you spend less time looking for sources and more time out in the garden.

Wider scope
We list over 250 nurseries that sell by mail-order, but many don't have Web pages. You won't miss out on the right nursery for your needs, just because they're too busy growing and shipping to program a Web site.

Better searches
Lookups are easy: Browse through a list of specialties to get ideas. Or, just start typing and jump to the first item in the list that matches the characters you are entering. Or, scroll and click to choose an item from a list.

You'll never waste time searching, only to get an error message saying, "Your search found no results."

Easy-to-read results
The results of a lookup can be either viewed on the screen or printed out. The items on the screen are organized consistently - the same types of information appear in the same place on the screen for every nursery.

Create reports
Gardeners can tailor reports to correspond to their information needs. This is truly a unique feature. Other electronic resources do not support this type of sophisticated reporting, if they provide reporting at all.
