The“Heatherhome" Seed Book

“ Your seedbook has been such 
an inspiration and help to us 
with our gardening that I wish 
all amateurs had a copy to 
guide them. I am sure the 
world would be much more 
beautiful." 
Hundreds of amateurs express themselves in 
similar terms after reading our book. The 
man who wrote this book knows not only 
flowers like few people do, but he also knows 
what the gardening public needs in the way 
of information.
