Pittosporum for Cut Foliage
A native of New Zealand, the small, glossy, bright unmarked foliage is what the customer demands. The stems are used as ‘fillers’ in mixed flower bouquets, supplying an increasing export market to specialist bouquet companies in the UK and Holland, who in turn supply the major supermarkets and other retail outlets.

The Grasses of Ireland
Teagasc in association with the School of Agriculture and Food Science, University College Dublin produced this 226 page book. With around 10,000 species grasses are the fourth largest plant family, surpassed only by the daisy-dandelion family, the orchids and the mint family. This vast number is divided into 600 genera organised into 12 subfamilies, to one of which most of our Irish species belong. They are by far the most important plant family in agriculture. Grasses account for 70% of the crops we grow, and three grass species provide us with more than half of the calories we eat. They are the principal food of cattle, sheep, horses and other farm animals. This book is now back in stock. Call 0599170200 to order your copy
