Welcome to GardenTalk® our catalog of fine garden tools and gar-dening products carefully selected for our customers. Please take your time… don’t chance missing a vital item!

We had a wild winter here in New England with lots of snow and frigid temperatures. It felt like the never ending winter. My 99 year old neigh-bor predicted a cold, snowy winter and he also predicts a hot summer. His weather predictions have never been wrong. Be prepared to do a lot of water-ing this summer!

I am not sure if I’ve ever looked forward to spring gardening more than I did this year. In addition to flowers, I am doing an organic vegetable garden in raised beds. I have planted zucchini, cucumbers, radishes, summer squash, eggplant and watermelon. I have also used our stackable planter on page 34 for strawberries this year. If you happen to be on Facebook, I’ll post some pic-tures of the harvest there this summer. Now that my garden is planted, I can’t wait to harvest and get fresh, organic veggies into my family!

Often our customers ask about the artwork on the cover of our catalog. Linda Cook DeVona is the artist. She also is the illustrator of our note cards. She has been illustrating for garden publications for many years. She lives with her family in an old farmhouse in upstate New York where she plants daffodils each Autumn as a way to celebrate the arrival of Spring.

We have added many great new tools to our catalog this year. Of course our tried and true gardening tools remain, many of which we have carried since 1967 in our very first catalog. You can place your order by phone, mail or on our secure website: www.gardentalk.com.

Enjoy the catalog and the gardening season ahead,

Several years ago, we had a chance to visit with a customer of ours who teaches Tree Pruning courses for the Massachusetts Horticultural Society. One thing he told us is that he requires all of his students to buy a pair of Felco No. 8 (or No.9) pruners and a Fanno No.4 Pruning Saw. He’d been sending his students to us to buy the Felco’s and ask us if we’d stock some Fanno No. 4 saws for them as well. “In fact,” he said, “you really should add it to your catalog ..it is the very best all around pruning saw available. The blade’s the right length, teeth are the right size, and you can get two hands on the grip. Everyone pruning trees should have one!” ...So here it is. FANNO No. 4 Saw (13” blade, 6 teeth/inch, 11” handle) $39.50

FANNO No. 4 PRUNING SAWMade in USA

A handy folding saw manufac-tured for FELCO in Japan. As with all fine pruning saws, the blade is designed to cut on the “pull stroke”. The teeth are razor sharp and, rather than being “set”, they

are parallel with the side of the blade. This design results in a remarkably easy, clog free, cut with a perfectly smooth finish. An easily operated latch holds the blade open during use. The blade is 6” long, and replaceable. The high impact plastic handle is FELCO red, to help you find it again if you should set it down. $37.95

Myrtlewood Bowls & Baskets From the Oregon Coast

For 40 years, Don Barber built wooden boats in the small fishing and timber town of Coos Bay, Oregon. When he left boatbuilding, he started a family business handcraft-ing old fashioned baskets out of Oregon myrtlewood, a beautiful hardwood from broadleaf evergreen Myrtle trees that grow abundantly along the Pacific Northwest Coast. The heirloom quality baskets are made one at a time, by hand, fastened with cut copper nails, fitted with copper handles, and finished with clear food-grade min-eral oil that preserves the wood and brings out the stun-ning grain. The final product is light weight, durable and gorgeous. The bowl and bushel type baskets are great for

fruits and veg-etables, but they are also perfect for potted plants or flower arrangements. The “Drift Dory Boat” can be used as a bread basket, sushi boat, or for any unique presentation. You might want to start a fleet. Made in Oregon.

From The Original Makers of The Royal Sussex Trug Basket.

AUTHENTIC SUSSEX TRUGS

Trug comes from the old English word “trog”, meaning boat-like. The “modern” trug gardening basket was developed sometime around 1850 in the small town of Herstmonceux in East Sussex. To this day, Sussex trugs are made entirely by hand. The trug has a simple frame made of two squarish cornered hoops of sweet chestnut. The chestnut laths are hand split and shaped with a draw knife and heated in a wood fired steamer until they become pliable enough to bend around the frame forms. Once formed, the frames are securely nailed together. Carefully hand shaped split willow slats are then pressed in place within the frame, and each overlapping slat is fastened to the frame with copper nails. Sussex trugs are very light weight and long lasting, some are still in use after 100 years. Wonderful for cut flowers or your garden produce; lovely for indoor use and for special gift baskets as well.

The story goes that Queen Victoria, at the Hyde Park Exposi-tion in 1851, greatly admired the trug and ordered a number of them, which the maker delivered personally, making the 60 mile journey to Buckingham Palace on foot, pushing the trugs in a wheelbarrow!

For the sake of expediency, and to save wear and tear on our

company president, we will deliver a trug of your very own by UPS.

Guy Wolff Garden PotteryGuy Wolff has been making traditional pottery for over 30 years. He has kept alive the best traditions of 18th and 19th century pottery for the garden, at times blending contemporary designs with traditional forms. Guy’s work is in the collections of many prestigious estates, including Monticello, the New York Botanical Gardens, the Atlanta History Museum, even the White House. He has also been featured in numerous publi-cations including the New York Times, Horticulture Magazine, and Martha Stewart Living.

Guy’s studio is located in a small rustic barn in western Connecticut, where according to Guy, Mary Pickford’s and Douglas Fairbanks’ horses were once kept. The studio space is small and production directly from Guy’s hands is very limited and highly sought after by collectors and estates. Normally, every pot Guy makes is sold from the studio or directly to estate customers or collectors. We are extremely proud that Guy Wolff has offered to make a limited number of pots for our customers.

PealePots

The Peale Pot was inspired by the 1802 portrait of Rubens Peale with Geranium, painted by Rembrandt Peale. It is said the pot in the portrait contains one of the first specimens of geranium (Pelargonium) brought to America. This is a classic 18th century shape, with a bead of roping just under the rim. In terra-cotta, it is available in three sizes.

#2 Peale Pot 5½”H x 6½” Rim x 4” Base .............$28.00#4 Peale Pot 7¼”H x 8” Rim x 5” Base ................$49.00#6 Peale Pot 8½”H x 9½” Rim x 6” Base .............$65.00

About Sizes

Each piece of Guy Wolff Garden Pottery is stamped with a number (2, 4, 6 etc), indicating the ‘’wet weight’’ pounds of clay used to make the pot. This standard-ized system for horticultural pots was adopted by Victorian potters. Guy is a skilled potter and his work is remarkably consistent, but keep in mind that the pots are hand thrown and no two are exactly alike. Approximate dimensions are given as Height x Outside Diameter at the Rim x Outside Diameter at the Bot-tom.

About Quality

All Wolff pottery in our catalog is hand thrown by Guy Wolff and signed on the bottom. In other catalogs and on the internet, you may find garden pottery produced by the Guy Wolff Guild. It will be labeled as “G. Wolff & Co.”. While it is fine quality pottery, it is made by a guild of craftsman in Wisconsin and Honduras, trained by Guy Wolff, and produced to meet the demands of a larger market. The pottery in our catalog is from Guy Wolff’s own wheel. It is marked simple “G. WOLFF” and is available in very limited quantities.

Here in New England, when the snow melts and the ground thaws, we have about three glori-ous weeks of springtime gardening. Bulbs come up in the flower beds, peas get planted in the vegetable patch, and you can stand there quietly at sunset and plan for the upcoming season. And then comes blackfly season, which overlaps with mosquito season, followed by greenheads and deerflies, and that pretty much takes you through till Autumn. It’s not too surprising that a some New Hampshire folks came up with the idea of the Bug Baffler, New Hampshire being, of course, the blackfly capital of the world. The Bug Baffler is insect net-ting that you wear. It’s lightweight and comfortable with good ventilation.
