10,000 Garden Questions answered by 20 experts, volumes I & II

Thrift store find... it's always a good day when you can find both volumes of something! These books are all formatted in Q & A style, which is super readable.
I scanned the "Indiana" page of the "Regional Gardening Issues" pages...

I got a great 6 page vintage nursery mailing at a yard sale this weekend. It's awkward size makes it hard to scan.It's from the Krider Nurseries, inc. "The Home of GOOD Roses, Middlebury, Indiana" 1954

Vintage patio furniture find!


We saw this sweet suite at an antique shop in Crown Point. A sofa, 2 chairs, 2 end tables, a coffee table, a dining table and 4 chairs! $500!! How great! What great 'upholstery"! And they had the glass in storage...

We are thinking about it... I can't get enough vintage patio furniture!
