Great Catalogue and excellent customer service! My only complaint is that there is usually a wait of 3-6 weeks to recieve your order but that is clearly stated when you place your order and they will try to accomadate if seed is need sooner. I will definately continue to order from this company for many years!!! |

The Ladybird Poppies are just starting to poke through the soil now. Instructions were very informative and easy to follow, and shipping, while not the cheapest, they still came to my door very promptly. |

The little icons convey important information, the layout is easy to navigate, the text is interesting, never hyperbolic. I get excellent, but not speedy, shipping. The customer service people are polite, and they appear to have a computerized tracking system for orders. |

Maybe if enough people from the U.S. contacted them willing to order, it would be worth their while to get the permits! |

Colourful catalogue of new varieties and the tried and true seeds come out every year. Good quantity of seed at reasonable prices. Useful sowing instructions on every packet and superb germination. I highly recommend William Dam Seeds! |
Positive | broots (20 reviews) | On Mar 10, 2003, broots Cochrane, ON (Zone 2b) wrote: I always look forward to their catalogue. Of all the Cdn catalogues I receive they are one of the few that have Salvia 'Lady in Red', which is a must for me. Germination has always been excellent. Shipping of accessories is always fast but I find them a little slower shipping seeds. I easily solve that problem by placing my order as soon as the catalogue comes out. |
Positive | hillfarm (36 reviews) | On Dec 28, 2002, hillfarm Quesnel, BC (Zone 4a) wrote: One of my favourite seed companies. Excellent pricing & selection both of vegetables & flowers. For the home gardener or small commercial gardener this is the place, especially for flowers for cutting/drying. Seed is untreated, another bonus. A reputable company, have dealt there for over 10 years and they've been around a lot longer. On October 24th, 2005, hillfarm added the following: I won't change my rating - this is an excellent seed source, but I do have one smallish complaint. The selection of perennial flower seed is good but I can't seem to get my seeds before February or even March some years, even when I order before Christmas. (The catalogue comes in November/December as a rule.) They don't seem to package their seeds till January or so. For me (and I'm guessing for other perennial growers) I need to have my seeds on hand for many perennials in early January in order to get them started & of a good size for spring planting out/greenhouse sales. As William Dam definitely supplies commercial growers/market gardeners (their bulk seed quantities demonstrate their ability/willingness to supply such) I am surprised that they are so slow in making the perennial seed available. I mentioned this several times to the people I talked to in customer service when telephone ordering & they didn't seem to be too aware of the need for the early starting that I mentioned. This is my one & only complaint, but it is such that I have started getting most of my perennial seed from other suppliers who are more prompt in shipping it out in time for January planting. |

I have had 100% germination, even with perennials, and everything springs up quickly. I look forward to planting more of their seeds, and highly recommend them. Oh did I mention that they are the most inexpensive place I have yet found??? Can't be beat. |
