The Burpee Seed Company publishes "Seed Starter," by Maureen Heffernan (MacMillian, 1997, $19.95). The instructions for all aspects of starting seeds indoors and out are clear and well-illustrated. Although the seed varieties listed are those sold by Burpee, the instructions are applicable to other varieties as well.

For those fascinated by botany but daunted by technical accounts, "Botany for Gardeners," by Brian Capon (Timber Press, 1990, $17.95) is written in layman's terms. Capon explains plant structure, growth, reproduction, and how these should influence your gardening.

Why is Christian Science in our name?

Our name is about honesty. The Monitor is owned by The Christian Science Church, and we’ve always been transparent about that.

The Church publishes the Monitor because it sees good journalism as vital to progress in the world. Since 1908, we’ve aimed “to injure no man, but to bless all mankind,” as our founder, Mary Baker Eddy, put it.

Here, you’ll find award-winning journalism not driven by commercial influences – a news organization that takes seriously its mission to uplift the world by seeking solutions and finding reasons for credible hope.
