Red Ball Publishing got its start early in the history of Ball Horticultural Co. (which was founded in 1905). Ball’s founder, George. J. Ball, was a seedsman and flower grower of the highest order. But he was also a prolific writer, and a big proponent of the sharing of knowledge. Two of his company’s earliest book projects were “Seed Sowing” and “Gravel Culture.”
But his best-known work and legacy is the “Ball RedBook.” First published in 1932, the Ball RedBook is considered to be the “bible” for the greenhouse industry. It’s loaded with detailed production information for annuals, perennials, cut flowers and other floriculture crops, plus in-depth chapters on greenhouses and growing technology.
Our little town of Colfax donated their Garden Club Books to our Thrift store. I purchased the box of books thinking I would use/reference for my garden but that never happen. |
I am retiring from my costume/wedding/clothing tailor business, and because of this I will be selling my thousands and thousands of patterns, sewing/Costume books, equipment, supplies, pamphlets etc. Please visit my other listings, follow me as more to come. I will combine shipping. I have already packaged and weighted each listing but will unpack and put in larger box and credit difference in shipping cost. I will not make a profit on shipping, but savings off to purchaser. I am happy to answer any questions you may have |
