Synopsis:

This Taylor's Guide sorts out the best heirloom vegetables and tells readers where to find them. These varieties, at least fifty years old, have usually been preserved by regional, ethnic, or family groups, although some, like Golden Bantam corn, are still widely popular today.

Synopsis: In the United States, some vegetable varieties over half a century old have been preserved within regional, ethnic or family groups, although some, such as Golden Bantam corn, are still widely popular. Unlike modern hybrids, which are often developed for the benefit of agricultural business, "heirloom" vegetables have many attributes for the home gardener, including flavour. Seeds of some of these plants are now available through general seed catalogues in the US, and this is a guide to that availability.
