Positive | primrosepath49 (3 reviews) | On Dec 30, 2014, primrosepath49 Chicago, IL wrote: Wish I'd stumbled across this company before--they have every last arcane species I wanted, including cardoon, huazontle, bronze fennel and tree spinach. Of the varieties I've planted so far, very good germination rates. |

Positive | PracticalAg (2 reviews) | On Dec 9, 2014, PracticalAg Raleigh, NC (Zone 8a) wrote: I have used JL for 6 years now, and I keep coming back due to price, viability, and speed. Whoever is running it is honest with refunds and I have had excellent luck with virtually everything that I have purchased. I don't leave reviews often, but I stand behind this company. It is well worth the "effort" to use PayPal. |
Positive | guptaas (2 reviews) | On Nov 5, 2014, guptaas EAST PATCHOGUE, NY (Zone 7b) wrote: I found a larger selection of seeds here than anywhere else. The website has no frills but the information is very specific and useful. The ordering process is unusual but smooth using Paypal. The order mailed out in a day. Going by other commentators, if I don't succeed in germinating these seeds, it is likely going to be some error on my part. |

Positive | beesberet (4 reviews) | On Aug 21, 2014, beesberet Maywood, CA wrote: I came across one of their catalogues from the 80s and realized I hadn't ordered in years. So glad I did because the selection is even more extensive, the germination rates remain excellent, and prices/service can't be beat. So glad they're still around for those ethnobotanical treasures. |

Positive | CLScott (3 reviews) | On Aug 11, 2014, CLScott Calgary, Canada wrote: A good place to order seeds. There are never back orders, and rarely do they run out of seeds. Orders are shipped in a timely fashion. This is definitely one of the best places to order seeds. |
Positive | desertbluegrass (1 review) | On Aug 5, 2014, desertbluegrass TERLINGUA, TX wrote: I don't know how I didn't know about J.L. Hudson/Seedsman before now but I found it. What a great website and place to go to if one needs seeds or what it takes to propagate said seeds. I ordered several seeds from about ten different plants that I was searching for and they arrived this afternoon in the mail. Great personable service! He emailed me to inform me that the seeds were on their way to me. I will be ordering more seeds from them in the very near future. I did mention that I was looking for some seeds that he did not have listed at which point he promptly emailed me that he did not have them but gave me several leads or resources to look into that might have them. This is the place to come to if you are tired of looking in the usual commercial seed and plant companies and seeing all the usual suspects for sale except for the unusual ones that you happen to be looking for. |
Positive | floria (27 reviews) | On Jun 11, 2014, floria Athens, GA (Zone 8a) wrote: The first time I ordered from JL Hudson Seedsman I was very pleased with the whole experience. Their choice is amazing; the catalog is both fun and instructive. The seeds arrived in 3 days; email communication was without fault; their prices are hard to beat. Admittedly, I only ordered seeds that are relatively easy to germinate, as my skills are not quite up to par. However, everything I ordered so far has germinated without problems (following their instructions) and in a large proportion (I did not really count hundreds of directly-seeded plants). This made me place another order recently and so far I had the same excellent experience. I recommend this company wholeheartedly; I will post again when some of the more difficult seeds ordered this time have sprouted. |

Enjoyed the simplicity of ordering and paying by email. Even with an email glitch on my side the day I ordered, the order was handled promptly without any problems. Received the seeds within a week of ordering and am thrilled. |

I tell any gardener I know to check out their catalogue. This year, once again, my order arrived quickly and the seeds all have had amazing germination rates. Also my cosmos and dahlia seeds began sprouting within two days. All this and the variety they offer assures that they have something for everyone. |

Information about plants and germination requirements are superior to most. I plan to always be a loyal customer. |
Positive | gardensoiree (5 reviews) | On Feb 13, 2014, gardensoiree San Diego, CA wrote: J.L. Hudson's selection is incredible; it's so unique that there are items that I haven't seen available elsewhere. While you must slow down, mail your order in, and wait…it is well worth the wait. Pay pal is an option but to really have the J.L. Hudson experience you should relax, make your selections, fill out the form, and pop it in the mail. It took me longer than I expected to make the final decisions but the website allows you to check if something is out of stock, which is helpful. Plus, I didn't have to order from 2 or 3 other places, J.L. Hudson had items that are much higher priced elsewhere or unavailable until Fall. |

Hudson (around August 31st, I believe), and actually registered solely to cash in my two cents of praise. I can't remember exactly how many we ordered - three of us ordered at once to minimize shipping. It was, at any rate, about 16. |
Positive | saradus (20 reviews) | On Nov 26, 2013, saradus Maple Park, IL wrote: Just placed my second order. I found this seed bank through the community here on Davesgarden, and I'm so glad! Ordering was easy (online or order form via mail), it took a few minutes, but the website thoroughly lists the process of ordering and how to calculate shipping. Once I read it, I got it. The catalog is vast and has so much information. I've found myself using the catalog for reading material even after my initial order, I kept discovering new plants that I want to try. Seeds were shipped promptly and labeled with instructions. Highly recommend. |
Positive | lindasta (1 review) | On Jul 24, 2013, lindasta Winston, GA wrote: J.L. Hudson has opened up a whole new plant world for me. I appreciate all the helpful info about each plant. I see a great need to restore the biodiversity of plant life in our environment, whether it be in a garden for food or medicine to heal our bodies or to heal the soil any where and every where. I have had good results from growing your seed. I also, appreciate the service and reasonable price. |

I had to create this account in Dave's just to sing their praises. The prices and shipping rate are more than reasonable and the seed selection is SUPERIOR. The seeds package arrived in a very timely manner. However, along with my seeds, a whole load of tiny ants decided to tag along for the ride inside the package envelop. You would think this would be a big fat negative feedback, but because of how the company representative handled the situation they turned it into a big POSITIVE. On May 30, 2013, J.L.

I am a veganic organic farmer and I like to try unusual plants and trees alongside the normal veggies and fruits I grow each season. JL Hudson's catalog is probably the biggest out there. He offers wonderful things like lotus seeds. |

I sent my request in the afternoon and they responded the next morning to confirm that the seeds were in stock. At an average of $2.50 per packet, I find their prices very good considering the varieties available. $2.50 postage for up to 40 packets of seeds is very reasonable as well. I'm always put off by companies that overcharge on shipping. |
