A seed catalog switching from line drawings to photos doesn't seem like a big deal.  But when the photos are so crisp you can see which lettuces are crunchy and which are tender and don't have to rely on the copy alone to convey that information, it is an exciting change.  But see for yourself.  The Cook's Garden, a specialist in European and organic produce, was always a pleasure to read.  Now — just in time for prime lettuce-planting season — it's a pleasure to look at, too.
