Default gardening books

I have some of my mothers' books to dispose of, and before taking them
up to Oxfam I wondered if anyone on urg would be interested, for the
cost of postage, and, if you feel you have got a very good bargain, a
donation to the Engine Fields Nature Park

They're all old books, but in reasonable condition:

edition
Beth Chatto the Dry Garden hardback , 1st ed? 1978

Bernard R Jones: The complete Guide to sweet peas - hardback, garden
Book Club edition
RCM Wright Plant Propagation hardback, 1st ed? 1955
Maye E Bruce From Vegetable Waste to Fertile Soil, hardback 1940

Which? Kind of garden. Hardback, with coloured pics.
Roy hay et al, The Dictionary of Indoor Plants in colour, pub RHS 1974,
hardback, colour.

Amateur gardening Illustrated encyclopaedia of popular plantss and
pictorial diary of garden work - published in magazine and then bound
into hard cover.. The Pictorial Diary is a loos insert.

Anybody in easy reach of Leeds who doesn't have the
Beth Chatto and Christopher Lloyd books in particular - just go get 'em and give a good donation to the Engine Fields
project.

The message
from "Rod" contains these words:

I'd second that, and add that Margery Fish's book is a classic, and a
mine of information and good advice especially if you are fairly new to
ornamental plants.
