 Avant Gardener $24.00 I have subscribed to this publication for years and years and years - too many to remember. It is the ONE PUBLICATION which I do not let lapse, nor do I give my old copies away ! You will find more information here than all other "fluff" type gardening mags combined. No pictures of course, but hey - you can look 'em up on the 'net if you want to see. Well worth every penny. I only wish the editors had a website, and a bit more modern approach to renewal (you need to be vigilant about when it expires).  Sunlight Supply 900490 Horticultural Light Manufacturer: Sunlight Supply Type: Horticultural Lighting, Light Bulb: (1)150w ED17 Med HPS Description: Sun System˘î HPS 150 Grow Light Fixture. Highly reflective aluminum insert. Vented housing helps dissipate heat. Durable white powder coated finish. Backlit on/off switch. 7' grounded 120 volt power cord. 150 watt high pressure sodium bulb included - delivers an amazing 16,000 lumens! The color spectrum is ideal for indoor growing.  American Horticultural Society Plant Propagation: The Fully Illustrated Plant-by-Plant Manual of Practical Techniques $35.00 This book is fine for basic and "high-level" overviews of propagation of different species. The introductory section on different propagation techniques was interesting and informative. However, it seemed odd and a little frustrating to me that the hardiness zone for each species wasn't stated. Also many species didn't have photographs- a small image with each listing would have benefited this book enormously. This is a good book, and fine for a reference if you already know which plants you wish to propogate- but with a few minor modifications it could have been great. |
