Just wondering if I'm missing a better way to do this, but was trying to search the tomatoes (there are A LOT :) and after page 20 (which was still only in the Cs) I could only go to 'next', so to get to letters at the end of the alphabet was a nightmare. If I put in the name of the variety it came up with things that weren't even tomatoes and sometimes my source had different spelling, which added to the problem.
Would it be possible to have more pages? ..or is this a problem? It's really nice to be able to browse alphabetically

I know you're busy with the changeover at the moment Dave - so just when you have time later..........

Philomel, have you tried the "Browse by cultivar" option? when you choose tomatoes, here's what you get:

Also, you can search for cultivar and genus, like this:
http://davesgarden.com/pf/adv_search.php?search_type%5Bcommon%5D=contains&searcher%5Bcommon%5D=&search_type%5Bfamily%5D=contains&searcher%5Bfamily%5D=&search_type%5Bgenus%5D=contains&searcher%5Bgenus%5D=Lycopersicon&search_type%5Bspecies%5D=contains&searcher%5Bspecies%5D=&search_type%5Bcultivar%5D=contains&searcher%5Bcultivar%5D=Big+Red&search_type%5Bhybridizer%5D=contains&searcher%5Bhybridizer%5D=&Search=Search

That's what I do a lot. :D
