Arrow Seed was established in Broken Bow, Nebraska in 1946. The company has been under the same family ownership since 1954. Facilities include 60,000 square feet of seed conditioning, distribution and retail space located in Broken Bow. While forage legumes, grasses, and forage and grain sorghums are a major part of the business, related lines of food plots and cover crops are increasingly important to the company and its customers.

Arrow Seed conditions and packages seeds that are well adapted to the area and purchases seed from established companies in other states of those species that cannot be produced economically in Nebraska. As many as 32 different seed species have been conditioned through company facilities in a year’s time. Seed packaging includes the capability to package in small pack bags, bags, totes, and bulk. An up-to-date seed cleaning plant efficiently cleans seed crops of legumes, small grains, grasses, sorghums, and millet. Strict seed handling systems and procedures prevent contamination. Equipment is in place to utilize all physical properties of seed in the conditioning process a product to meet the high standards necessary to carry the ARROW SEED tag.

The Chas. C. Hart Seed Company was founded in 1892 by Mr. Charles C. Hart who had been connected with the Johnson & Robbins Company for fourteen years. He started a small consignment package seed business, using the back kitchen of his home as a packing room, warehouse, and office. At that time there were five seed firms in business in Wethersfield, this venture being the sixth.

In 1894, Mr. Hart entered into a partnership with Mr. Frank J. Wells, establishing Hart, Wells & Company. They purchased the general wholesale seed business of Egbert Decker on Marsh Street in Wethersfield and moved their operations there for a time. As business increased, more room was needed so the company acquired the offices and warehouses of the former Johnson & Robbins Company on Main Street.

A mail order department was established in 1913. In 1916 Mr. Hart purchased Mr. Wells interest in the business, and Mr. Hart’s three older sons became associated with the firm.

Over the years, Hart’s Seeds grew, acquiring several seed companies in the process. In 1922, the fifty-year-old business of E.M. Lyman & Son of Springfield Massachusetts was purchased and moved to Wethersfield. During that same year, the youngest of Mr. Hart’s four sons joined the company. In 1924 the package seed business of Robert M. Reeves & Company of New York City was bought.

Other seed businesses acquired included the Budd D. Hawkins Seed Company of Reading Vermont in 1952, the S.D. Woodruff & Son Company of Orange Connecticut in 1958, and the packet seed business of T.W. Wood & Sons of Richmond Virginia in 1962.

The wood frame buildings of the Hart Seed Company were destroyed by a fire in 1943, and were replaced with a brick office-warehouse complex at the same location on Main Street in historic Old Wethersfield Connecticut.

Today, the company is owned and operated by members of the fourth, and fifth generations of the Hart family. The Hart’s oversee the production and distribution of packet seeds, bulk vegetable and flower seed, lawn seed, fertilizers and other landscape products to independent dealers, farmers, golf courses, and landscape professionals throughout the Northeastern United States.

We sell mowers and yard care equipment for homeowners and commercial landscapers. Zero-turn mowers have a reputation for cutting down your mowing time because of the ease with which you can maneuver them forward, in reverse, and around obstacles. With many sizes and options available we are sure to have a mower that will make your yard work go faster.

Leaf blowers, de-thatching attachments, sweepers, and aerators are just some of the options you can add to your equipment to make sure you always have the best looking lawn in the neighborhood. When a simple walk-behind mower or string trimmer will do the job we can help you there also.

For larger projects such as sports field or golf course maintenance an aerator is a must. We can provide pull-type or 3-point hitch mounted aerators to break through compacted soil which will promote root growth, water retention, and nutrient absorption.

Our shop is open for all of your small engine repairs and tune-up needs. We will keep things running until you are ready to upgrade to new equipment and can sell your old stuff when the time comes.

At East Coast Sod and Seed, we take pride in growing and providing top quality grass to demanding customers who expect the best. We know that when you choose our sod you also expect exceptional delivery service and the best value for your investment.

Our golf course sod expertise is the best in the industry. It begins with over 2,000 acres of high sand based soil native to Southern New Jersey. With over 80 years of sod growing experience (a subsidiary of DeLea Sod Farms, East Northport, NY – founded 1928) our team and sod farm are recognized as leaders in the turf industry. Combine this foundation with our continuing innovations, constant testing and commitment to using only the best, newest varieties of disease-resistant, wear-tolerant seed – leads to East Coast Sod being the first choice for top quality sod and seed.

Our commitment to excellence offers golf courses, homeowners, landscape contractors and athletic field turf customers premium grass varieties to meet the needs of all sod applications.

Whether you need golf course sod, residential sod or sports turf, choosing East Coast Sod will maximize your return on investment. Contact us today to discover the East Coast difference.

We grow the highest quality sod for golf course use on greens, tees, fairways and roughs, serving private and public courses throughout the East Coast for ten years.

We start with the best seed varieties, including premium bentgrasses, 100% fine fescue, tall fescue and Kentucky bluegrass. From there, we subject the seed to a variety of testing. Although the seed is tested prior to delivery at East Coast Sod and Seed, we perform our own testing regimen – 10 times the industry standard – to ensure that only the finest seed is used. We then plant in clean, sterile soil in fully irrigated fields to provide optimal growing conditions.

Completing all of these steps takes additional time and patience, but the result – the best golf course sod available – is well worth it.

Lawyer Nursery is a family business founded by David and Esther Lawyer in 1959 in the Clark Fork River Valley near Plains, Montana. Currently the wholesale bareroot nursery is owned and managed by John Lawyer. We have more than 500 acres of prime nursery land in addition to our office, packing sheds and warehouses.

At Plains, we produce deciduous seedlings and transplants, rootstocks, shrubs and conifers. Our Plains climate is USDA Plant Hardiness Zone 4. Soils range from sandy loam to a sandy clay loam with a normal growing season of 100 days.

In 1988 our business expanded to Olympia, Washington. Facilities include 175 acres of rich, uniform sandy loam. This outstanding soil allows us to root culture our crops with advanced methods of root pruning, wrenching, and nutrient management. At Olympia, USDA Plant Hardiness Zone 7, we grow a wide assortment of conifer and deciduous seedlings and transplants including difficult to propagate species.

In 2000 we built our first modern greenhouse in Olympia Washington. Production has grown to 900,000 plugs across 40 species. Initially we intended to provide plugs for our own operations but demand for conifer and deciduous plugs was such that we now list a variety of species for sale as plugs.

All of our stock is sold bareroot. We grow most of our product in open fields for one or more growing seasons. Then we dig, grade, count and bundle our plants for storage and shipment. Wholesale quantities are sold in bundles of generally 10 to 100 plants. Most of our broadleaf deciduous species are dug in the fall and early winter after they are fully dormant. We dig our conifers grown at the Olympia nursery in mid-winter and at the Plains nursery as early as possible in the spring. All stock is held in cold storage until shipped. We have modern cold storage facilities totaling over 500,000 cubic feet of refrigerated and humidified storage.

We propagate our nursery stock from both seed and rooted cuttings; today Lawyer Nursery, Inc. offers one of the largest selections of field grown nursery stock in the wholesale nursery trade.

Here at Newsom Seed, our Maryland wholesale grass seeds use only the finest equipment, which is used to clean and mix the seed components.

Similar to our grass seed mixtures, our fertilizer selections can be custom blended depending on your specifications.

We are proud to offer a comprehensive line of Maryland wholesale pesticides as well, with a wide variety of name brand and generic selections. We have extended our pesticide products to include many generic products, which are economical without compromising quality.
