Even when busy he has taken the time for a personalised response, very quick delivery to the UK, no problems ever. Seed has always had excellent germination, I had some stored since 2003 it germinated in 2009, BRAVO! |

I was shocked at how fast it arrived - just 2 days from when I ordered the seeds. |

I made an error in addition, as well as not figuring the sales tax. When I realized that this happened, I immediately emailed them, but also I was emailed, too, in a most friendly way. I made the the payment through PayPal, and I got the seeds the next day! |

It's delivered to my home, at Toronto, on Mar 24th. Seeds are in very good condition, and many more than I ordered the similar seeds w/ a little bit more expensive for seeds and shipping from ebay (a Germany seeds company). Seeds were very well packed and labeled w/ brief germination instruction. |

They offer a wide variety of hard to find seeds, gibberellic acid supplies and kits, and several interesting and important books. I highly recommend this company. |

Positive | markrs (10 reviews) | On Nov 24, 2008, markrs San Carlos, CA (Zone 10a) wrote: I just received my first order a couple weeks ago and I'm very pleased. The prices are great and the seed quantities are very reasonable. The mindset at J.L. Hudson is clearly very different than at your typical company--they test the seeds for viability and report some of the results in their catalog. They give estimates as to germination times, which I gather are conservative. Of the 5 types of seeds I bought, I planted 4. Two of these germinated somewhat faster than expected. The other two germinated much more quickly. I can't exactly complain, but of course it is wise to watch for early germination of seeds such as that. |
Positive | Spookycharles (29 reviews) | On Nov 21, 2008, Spookycharles Langley, WA (Zone 8b) wrote: I just received an order from J.L. Hudson Seedsman and most certainly plan on placing more orders in the very near future. They have an incredible selection, great prices on hard to find varieties and very fast shipping. Everything arrived well labeled and with more germination information and larger quantities of seeds than I expected. Fantastic seeds company. |

I know I can buy from them forever because I can barely read and study 4 pages before I find my quota of seeds for the time being, and there are a great many pages of seeds to order from ! |

The catalog is amazing-- full of great info on plant culture and history as well as medicinal and edible uses. |

Their online catalog is difficult to discern or read at times, as I've discussed with them in the past. But they're seed-people and not html-programmers, so I understand. |

I have used them before, am using them this spring, and likely will use them for years to come. The order interface is a bit unusual, but if you can't take the time to write up an email, chances are you do not have the patience or time to be a decent gardener either ;). |

The best thing I can say is that the germination rate of the seeds is outstanding even for the difficult ones!! I am a novice gardener and have always had outstanding luck. |
Positive | luannewolf (3 reviews) | On Apr 2, 2008, luannewolf Fayetteville, AR wrote: I give JL Hudson a gold star for customer service. I ordered some vegetable and flower seeds, planted most of them in flats on my heat mats, and then realized that one flower packet was missing. I don't really know if I lost it or if it was not in the order in the first place. So, I emailed JL Hudson and told them I couldn't find my Valerian seed, and even though they were correct that it was listed on the packing list, they immediately sent me another packet of seed. That's what I call customer service! |
Positive | trioadastra (4 reviews) | On Mar 22, 2008, trioadastra Woodbury, MN (Zone 4a) wrote: Very good selection, very reasonable prices. Fast and inexpensive shipping. The ordering process was a bit more difficult than cart shopping; I printed the instructions and referenced them to make sure I didn't screw anything up. No, The seeds do not come with germination instructions, but if you need help germinating seeds, you probably shouldn't be ordering unusual seeds from a seed bank anyway. I'll definately come back for more seeds from JL Hudson. |
Positive | Helios (6 reviews) | On Mar 12, 2008, Helios Louisville, KY wrote: I received my order extremely quickly... faster than some other online retailers. J.L Hudson has seeds that are quite hard to find (they are the only place I could find Sweet Woodruff seeds), and the quantities and prices are good. |

I placed a good size order on the internet on Thursday evening and received it the following Monday. I simply read and followed their instructions for ordering and found working with them a breeze. Highly recommend this company. |

A truly outstanding selection of rare and obscure species, good germination rates and promotion of GA-3 experimentation combined with accurate, prompt and courteous service. I look forward to many more years of being a loyal customer. |

Have been dealing with JL Hudson since the early 90s and will continue to do so. Selection runs from the commonplace to the unique and unusual. Seed germination has always been high. Live plant material has always arrived in good condition. |

I ordered 4 packets of Eucalyptus seeds on 11/5/2007; the order was filled promptly and I received them about a week after I ordered them. On planting, most of them had germinated after only one week! Very good viability and fine service. I just placed another, larger, order for more Eucalyptus seeds on 11/26/07. On November 30th, 2007, LariAnn added the following: Update: My second order arrived today, 11/30/07, much faster than the first one! I'm very excited now to grow all the new Eucalyptus seeds I just received. Another great experience with J. L. Hudson, Seedsman. Thanks Much! |
Positive | majuscule (2 reviews) | On Nov 3, 2007, majuscule Bloomfield, CT wrote: I like this company! Though they are more of a seed bank, with lots of interesting hard to find items, than your usual commercial catalog. The black and white catalog is filled with small print but many many many varieties of seeds to to choose from. These folks must spend their time tending to business rather than looking for cute garden ornaments and garden equipment to sell. |

Thought I would give it a try, although I tend to avoid cross border shopping. The prices and shipping to Canada were very reasonable, communication was great. And the seeds arrived quickly and as ordered. Thanks, I'll be back for more. |

I have been ordering from you for over 17 years. We first moved to our "homestead" 18 years ago. I have had only positive results and customer service from your company has been wonderful. We still "farm" on a small scale, and I still order my seeds from your company. You have always been fair, courteous and helpful. But the best are your seeds the quality is great and I appreciate the credits when a seed is not available... I have always had excellent results from you. Keep up the good work and Philosophy... |

I wish all seed companies--indeed, all vendors--were as dependable and straightforward as this one. The amount of seed supplied is generous; the seed is of high quality; and you find here many a thing which you will not find elsewhere. It can't be easy to make a profit with, on the one hand, seeds of obscure plants which are not in high demand, and, on the other, the likely quick-selling-out of such sorts as *are* in high demand; this company is to be congratulated for persevering in its business. If seed of the same particular variety were being offered by, say, Burpee, Park, Thompson & Morgan, Johnny's Seeds, and J.L. Hudson, I would without hesitation choose to buy the seed packet from Hudson rather than the others. The customer owes it to himself and to the company to read, understand, and act in accordance with the stated terms of business; if this is done, it's smooth sailing all the way with J.L. Hudson, Seedsman! On Jul 25, 2007, J.L. Hudson, Seedsman responded with: " On Jul 26, 2007 6:41 PM, J.L. Hudson, Seedsman added: Hey, thanks! |

I paid by paypal, which went very smoothly, and I'm really excited to plant my new seeds! Also, the packaging was well done - included a new catalog, updates and nice packing slip with my original request on it (which is nice, because now I don't have to check my sent emails to find out which ones I ordered!). Thanks JLH! On April 3rd, 2007, ara133 added the following: Edited - I forgot to add that I was going to check my emails to see if what I received matched what I ordered, as I always like to verify. The packing slip was helpful, and I received everything I ordered! |
