Know the Various Types of Seeds according to their Classification for Herbs & Vegetables

VARIOUS TYPES OF SEEDS

Learn about types of seeds according to their groups. In order to become familiar with the various types of farm and garden seeds, obtain samples of as many of them as possible.

Put them in small bottles—homœopathic vials for instance—or stick a few of each kind on squares of cardboard. Arrange them in groups according to resemblances or relationships, comparing not only the seeds but the plants on which they grew.

If you cannot recall the plants, and there is no collection available, study the illustrations of the various types of seeds in seed catalogues which can be obtained from seed companies.
