Title: Jack Drake Nursery Plant lists
Post by: Ivan McConachie 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 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.

Sorry.
