Jack Drake Nursery Plant lists
« on: July 11, 2016, 01:47:14 PM »
Living close to Inschriach I am a frequent visitor to the nursery.

I would be interested to know if anyone has any historic Jack Drake mail order lists, from either the time of Mr Drake himself or John Lawson, that they would be willing to part with? I am happy to pay towards this.

It is purely for my own interest.

Hope someone can help.

Thank you

I've sent a request to a local friend who worked at Drake's in the late 80's or early 90's to see if he has a list he might scan.

I have yes but he hasn't any to spare unfortunately.

As I said Brian if you are able to find one, and are willing to part with it I am happy to pay. Thank you.

Only just noticed this is headed seedlists. If I still have any lists it will be of his plants, not seeds.
Sorry.
