The first index seminum or seed list of the gardens was published in 1883, and contained 557 species; it was published annually thereafter.
The seed lists were distributed to other botanical gardens, which could request seeds.
In 1908 more than 13,000 packets of seed were despatched.

The first catalogues of the gardens, one alphabetical and one systematic, were published by Gustav Cronemeyer in 1889, and contained about 3600 species.
A second edition was published by Kurt Dinter in 1897.
The third edition, published in 1912 by Alwin Berger with the title Hortus Mortolensis, contained almost 6000 species.
The wild flowers of the gardens were separately catalogued by Berger in 1907.
