Certainly a period piece – pot before hybrids. Still a valuable resource with detailed info on nutrient requirements, optimum growing conditions, and a fascinating chapter on “Super Grass,” which involved the use of Colchicine (a gout treatment otherwise poisonous) to up the octane. It comes with this warning – “ONLY SECOND GENERATION PLANTS ARE SAFE TO USER, BECAUSE FIRST GENERATION MAY CONTAIN ENOUGH LETHAL COLCHICINE TO KILL!” I’ll stick with stems and seeds, thanks. Very good condition in illustrated stiff wrappers.
