This comprehensive catalog of catalogs is now available in an updated sixth edition, and lists nearly 8,500 nonhybrid varieties of everything from amaranth to zucchini.As traditional plant breeding gives way to bioengineering and patented varieties, it has become even more important to recognize and preserve our rich vegetable legacy: seeds brought to this country by immigrants from every corner of the world, or developed here by farmers and breeders for superior taste, regional adaptability, disease resistance, and other virtues. Far from being obsolete or inferior, these varieties represent the cream of our vegetable crops.

    Book was sold at a fair price and was in excellent condition when received; book was as described in listing. I expected slow shipping, as I believe the listing said it would be slow; but I was pleasantly surprised at how quickly the book arrived. I had a question about the book and seller was quick to respond, very helpful and very polite. Would definitely buy from this seller again. A+++

    Was a bit worried ordering something from Alaska since I never have, but this seller proved my fear was probably a bit irrational. It arrived in great condition, and far faster than I thought. Also, I appreciate the low price. Thank you.
