Notes:
Written by a former Ministry of Agriculture executive in response to the decline of the Essex seed growing and distribution industries at the request of a 'Committee of Essex seedsmen'. Deals with many aspects from 15th to 20th century but with a strong focus on individual firms either by essay for a few or by gazetteers for most
