book is so old it is almost useless now
I did not notice when I bought the book that it was only the second edition.
Being that the book was written in 1988, it is now pretty much useless.
The books lists tons of vegetable varieties and where to purchase them.
Since the book is ancient, many of the companies are out of business or
do not offer that variety any longer.
Make sure if you get this book to look at the edition number. the latest edition is 6.
