Mr Cuthbert's guide to growing Summer Flowering bulbs and corms, c1953

Another in the charmingly illustrated "Cuthbert's Seeds guides" with their eye-catching and colourful covers. They date from c1953 - 55. Cuthbert's were a long established seed merchants with roots back to 1797 when the Scot James Cuthbert founded the company. The real turning point appears to have been the 1937 deal to supply seeds to Woolworth's stores and for many years the two brands were closely associated. Cuthbert's embraced marketing by issuing profuse adverts and 'how to booklets' such as these.
