Ordering Dates
We will take orders from the Main Catalogue beginning July 2. We will take orders from the Collectors Catalogue in mid-August. We are taking orders for bulbils now.

We provide seed garlic - bulbs and bulbils - for Canadian farms and gardens. We also export bulbils on a limited basis. We do not export bulbs.

Main 2010 Catalogue and 2010 Collectors Catalogue

In 2010 we have moved to a two catalogue system. The Main 2010 Catalogue is online now and the 2010 Collectors Catalogue will come online in mid-August.

In 2009 the demand for our seed garlic outstripped our ability to handle orders efficiently. We hope that with the two catalogue system we will be able to help growers plan their fall planting through the Main Catalogue and provide access to our wide selection of rare garlics through our Collectors Catalogue.

The Main Catalogue features the garlics that we grow in quantity and that we recommend for growing anywhere in Canada. It includes the two Purple Stripes, Chesnok Red and Persian Star, and the following Porcelain Garlics: Dan's Russian, Fish Lake 3, Georgian Fire, Leningrad, Majestic, Northern Québec, Susan Delafield and Yugoslavian. We will begin taking prepaid orders for bulbs of seed garlic from the Main Catalogue on July 2, 2010.

The Collectors Catalogue will contain all the other garlics that will be for sale in 2010, including the rest of the Porcelains and the various purple stripe varieties and all the Rocamboles, weakly bolting hardnecks and softnecks. This catalogue will come online after we have assessed the 2010 harvest, sometime in August.

We also have bulbils for sale. Order bulbils after May 1 - before the scapes are cut off in mid to late June. There will not be a separate bulbils catalogue. Most of the strains listed under Garlic Varieties in the menu on the right will be available. If you are looking for a particular strain not listed please enquire.

Shipping Dates

We expect to ship in the second half of September. If you need your garlic before the end of September please order early from the main catalogue and request a rush order. We cannot rush bulbil orders or garlic strains from the collectors catalogue.

There are shipping and handling  charges and for export there is a charge for the phytosanitary certificate.

Order Bulbs in July - First Come, First Served - Canada only

We begin taking orders for seed garlic bulbs from our Main Catalogue on July 2 for shipping in September 2010. We will take orders from our Collectors Catalogue in mid to late August.

Place your orders early while we still have a good selection. We are generally sold out of most garlics before we begin shipping. Order, with full payment, and the garlic strains you choose will be reserved for you.

About Size

As a policy we do not push our varieties to produce the largest bulbs they are capable of. We use water and organic fertilizers in moderation. The resulting garlic has a longer storage life and is in better shape for adapting itself to your growing conditions.

Garlic Prices - Canadian Dollars

All our garlic is available by the bulb. We no longer sell first quality garlic by the pound. The maximum amount of each garlic that can be ordered is noted with its description on the garlic varieties pages.

By the bulb

All the garlic we have listed and in stock is available by the bulb. Specify the number of bulbs of each strain or cultivar that you want. Note that there are restrictions on the quantities that can be ordered.

$3.50 per bulb for 2 or more bulbs of a strain

$4.00 for a single bulb of a strain

 

By the bulbil capsule

Bulbils are sold by the capsule which is the topset from a single hardneck garlic plant that has been left on to mature.

$4.00 per bulbil capsule for 2 or more of the same strain

$5.00 for a single capsule of a strain

 

Substitutions In case we are out of the strain of garlic you have ordered we will use our discretion to substitute another. If you do not want substitutions please tell us and we will refund you for the shortfall in your order.

Guarantee If you are not satisfied with the garlic when you receive it please contact us immediately so that we can do what is necessary. Call us collect at (250) 449-2152.

Canadian 2010 Shipping and Handling Charge for Bulbs and Bulbils

We use Canada Post and we normally ship by land by Expedited Parcel. In Canada there is a $15 shipping and handling charge on all orders.

International Shipping and Handling Charges for Bulbils

We export garlic bulbils on a limited basis to the USA  and overseas. There is a $25 charge for a Phytosanitary Certificate in addition to shipping and handling charges. A "Phyto" is required when plant material crosses an international border. We are located in Canada and a Canadian government inspector verifies that no pests or diseases that are restricted by the importing country are being transported with the garlic bulbils. The reason that we export bulbils only is that bulbils have had no contact with our soil. The Phyto costs the same however much we are shipping to the same address and so feel free to combine your order with a friend's. Please contact us for further details.

Printable Catalogue

The printable Main 2010 Catalogue is four pages, black and white, plus the order form. The printable 2010 Collectors Catalogue will be available in mid to late August. The website will be kept up-to-date with respect to the availability of different garlics throughout the summer and fall.
