Book Description
Editorial Reviews
From Booklist
Growing plants from seed can be an exacting undertaking. Kelly, a gardener and nurseryman, explains just what seeds are and describes the conditions that are necessary for them to germinate. He discusses dormancy (when seeds fail to germinate) and how to deal with it, harvesting and storing seeds, and sowing and growing in pots and containers and in the open ground. The author offers step-by-step instructions on growing trees, shrubs, perennials, annuals, alpines, bulbs, and vegetables, all from seeds. He gives brief instructions on growing more difficult trees, shrubs, perennials, and bulbs--also from seeds. This helpful paperback, with 50 black-and-white illustrations, is a Garden Book Club selection. George Cohen
