For more than a century, Burpee has been a household name for vegetable and flower seeds. Now, the basics of seed-starting popular annuals, perennials, vegetables and herbs can be found in this easy-to-use volume. In addition to the extensive encyclopedia of seed-starting organized by plant, there is information on sowing indoords and outdoors, thinning, transplanting, troubleshooting, and much more. 50 color photos. 50 line drawings.
One of two mandatory books for gardeners who can't afford the $200 Ortho book. First comes Sunset's Western Garden Book and then comes this Burpee seed book - ever wonder how come those Dogwood never seem to germinate - or how come Trillium, despite your twenty years of trying, just seem to lie there mocking you? This book explains all those arcane secrets that seem to defy any logic you can come up with.
A fabulous resource for educators and home gardeners.
