OCLC notes Tillinghast's Directory of the Seedsmen of the United States, printed in 1889. This Manual, evidently unrecorded, reveals the author's "secrets of success" in building "a great seed and plant business" and how others may do it too. Topics included in this guide are 'growing plants under glass,' using 'manure hot beds'; cheap green houses; growing cabbage successfully in the open ground; fertilizers, tools, and similar matters. Text illustrations abound.
