Customer Reviews

one of two manditory books for gardeners

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.

If you want to successfully grow seeds indoors or outdoors, read this book! You will find detailed information on the time of year to sow the seeds, germination hints, and plant descriptions.

Great book for beginners or the advanced gardener.

I found this book to be an excellent resource and highly recommend it to my customers!
