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 neighbor 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 watering 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 pictures 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,

PRUNING SAWS
A handy folding saw manufactured for FELCO in Japan. As with
all fine pruning saws, the blade
FELCO
is designed to cut on the “pull
Folding Pruning Saw
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
FANNO No. 4 PRUNING SAW
Made in USA
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)

AUTHENTIC
SUSSEX TRUGS
From The Original Makers of
The Royal Sussex Trug Basket.
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 Exposition 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 Pottery
Guy 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 publications 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.
About 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
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 standardized 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 Bottom.
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.

Y-Stakes “They bend so your plants don’t have to.”
Y-Stake plant supports are based on a simple but unique concept... their arms
bend to fit the individual staking needs of just about any leaning or falling
plant. Made from sturdy brown-coated aluminum shafts and topped with
galvanized wire arms that are covered with dark green
PVC, Y-Stake arms can be bent repeatedly into customized shapes for years of convenient use. They are very
unobtrusive and provide the most natural look possible
for any plant requiring staking. Y-Stakes are economical
as many types of plant will require only a single stake.
Available in four sizes. Made in USA.

Perennials get bigger each year! Made in the Netherlands, Peacock garden supports
are designed to grow with your plants throughout the season and from year to
year. All support rings and stakes are completely interchangeable and made of very
heavy-gauge green vinyl coated galvanized steel. Except for the grid style rings,
they can be put in place at any time of the year without damaging the plants.
•Start with small ring on a single stake, as the plant grows taller, slide the coupler
up the stake to raise the ring, or add an additional ring and coupler above the first.
Stakes come in lengths from 30 to 70 inches tall!!
•As a plant grows outward, change to a larger diameter ring by simply slipping
the smaller ring out of the coupler and replacing it with a larger ring. Ring are
available in diameters of 2 to 15 inches.
• When a plant grows too large for a 15 inch ring, use two stakes and two half-circle
arms to make an 18, 21, or 25 inch circle.
• For even larger plants, use three stakes and three third-circle arms to make a 32
inch ring.
• The 40 inch long Scalloped Border Edging is a very neat way of preventing border
plants from flopping on the lawn or walkway. Furthermore, they can be raised as
the plants grow or raised to lift back the plants when you cut the grass.

BUG BAFFLER GEAR
Here in New England, when the snow melts and
the ground thaws, we have about three glorious 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 netting that you wear. It’s lightweight and comfortable with good ventilation.
Bug Baffler Shirt There is a convenient zipper in the front neck seam which
opens so you can flip the hood back to eat or drink. The fabric is soft but semirigid so the hood is self-supporting and you won’t need a hat.

BurnOut
The safe & natural way to kill weeds
BurnOut is an all-natural acid based non-selective herbicide made from vinegar, lemons and clove oil. BurnOut
is 100% biodegradable and completely safe for the
environment, man and animals. When it is sprayed on
weeds, it binds to the surface of the plant and begins to
destroy the cell structure through a burn down process.
It kills the plant roots and all. Once it has been applied,
the plant begins to stress. Results can be seen in as little
as six hours. Use as spot treatments for patios, sidewalks
and driveways. Use BurnOut to edge around trees,
shrubs and fences. BurnOut works best in non-shaded
areas when temperatures are above 60 degrees. BurnOut
should be sprayed when plants are actively growing.
Children and pets may re-enter the treated areas after spray has dried. Used by
the New York Park Authority and botanical gardens.

For Whitefly Use
NICKE’S STICKYS
Several years ago, scientists discovered that the pesky whitefly, along
with many other insects, is attracted by the color yellow. This fact led
to STICKY STRIPS: rigid sheets of bright yellow, about 6” x 12”, that
are coated on both sides with a sticky material. The flies zip to the yellow and wind up in the “sticky” ...like flies to fly-paper. Hang strips
near your plants. Use indoors, in the greenhouse, on patios, and in the
garden. No toxic material, chemicals, or fumes. Use early-on to avoid
infestations. Used by professional growers. Use long-lasting strips until
covered with bugs ...then throw out.
