Collection: The Victory Seed Company Bookstore

We love books and our extensive horticultural research library is important to the biodiversity preservation work that we do. There are many out-of-print books, now only available used, that are important sources of historical horticultural information. As time permits and opportunities arise, we work to locate titles that we feel may be of interest to our gardening friends. Our book inventory fluctuates. Most are out-of-print, rare, from publisher over-runs, or otherwise in limited supply. The condition of the books offered will be noted in red on the book's description page. No matter the condition, all books will be readable copies with no missing pages. Please click on a book title below for more information, availability and pricing.
