Success with Seed (book)

Since its publication in 1978, Park's Success with Seed has been a classic reference work for gardeners everywhere who like to start their gardens from seed. Out of print and unavailable for several years, it has now been republished in an updated edition with updated information such as detailed light, heat, and temperature requirements; growing on and transplanting instructions; and 70 entirely new entries! It is THE manual you need to start your garden from seed, and it is available now at a very nice price!

Divided into flowering plants and vegetables, this book examines the germination, growing on, transplanting, and cultural needs of more than 400 genera and species. You'll learn recommended starting methods and get materials recommendations; exact temperature and light needs of specific species; suggested uses for plants; and even their geographical origin. It's simply the most complete and horticulturally accurate compendium of information we know on seed starting.

In addition to the valuable information, Park's Success with Seed contains more than 1,000 color photos -- one each of every seed, seedling, and mature plant we describe! No other book designed for gardeners includes this useful reference. It's also got a botanical pronunciation guide, cross-referenced indices to botanical and common names, and lists of plants for special places from hot and dry settings to houseplants and more.

Never waste another seed again with this simple, clear, easy-to-use guide. It is hardcover, with glossy paper stock capable of standing the test of time. (We're expecting soil and water stains as you use it alongside your Bio Dome!) Researched by the experienced horticulturists here at Park and meticulously checked, Success with Seed is a classic reference work belonging in the library of every gardener from seed!
