Park's Success with Seeds
Parks Success with Seeds, by Ann Reilly, is one of the best books I've found for concise yet complete information about starting hundreds of vegetable and flower seeds. One of my favorite features is a photo of each plant's seedling -- a great help when it's time to weed the garden. It also has lists of seeds that require special pre-treatments before sowing, a glossary of horticultural terms, and a pronunciation index.
Unfortunately, the book is no longer in print, but you may be able to get a secondhand copy. Park's Success with Seeds, by Ann Reilly, Geo. W. Park Seed Co., Inc., Greenwood, South Carolina, 1978.
