Gurney Seed & Nursery Company: Yankston, South Dakota
• Active, but under new ownership
• There was a reboot, under a slightly different name and still in Yankston, SD
• I wonder if my mail will end up in South Dakota or at the new place (about 110 miles southeast of me in Indiana);
• I hope it ends up in South Dakota.
• Cost: 10¢ which I wrote a check
Henry Field Seed & Nursery Company: Shenandoah, Iowa
• Official site—Still an active business
• Under new ownership and ALSO about 110 southeast of me
• A bit of history and more

Finger Fit: Royal Oak, Michigan
• Official site—I thought that this one was still a viable company, I believe my mother-in-law has one of these for her ring
• They have no history on their site and I can’t find any after a very short search. They have changed locations to St. Clair Shores, but they are still in Michigan.
• Cost: Free
R.H. Shumway Seedsman: Rockford, Illinois
• Official site
• It has changed hands over the years. It is presently headquartered in Wisconsin—history and more
• A 1916 seed catalog
• Cost: Most expensive—a check for $1.75
