It might be suggested that it is also the most popular picture book on the sitting rocia table. What visions of the giant corn stalks balloon size cabbage, over-populated potato hills, tender lettuce, dazzlingly beautiful flowers and trim hedges are prepared in the min®s eye of dad and mother when the new catalog from the sced campany arrives.
