We bring in literally thousands of packets and USDA will inspect about 10 packages of each seed to satisfy their requirements. There's nothing wrong with the opened seeds except the packages are opened and the pretty package is disfigured. As soon as we receive the opened seed packets we reseal them and refrigerate them. Normally these seed packets sell for $2.50 each if they haven't been disfigured. We are selling them at $1.95 each in this bundle of 10. We try to give you a wide assortment of what is available at the moment. Sorry we can't tell you what's in the bundle, but if you request a particular item in the comments section of your order, we will try to accomodate you.

The Secret Techniques of Bonsai
A Guide to Starting, Raising, and Shaping Bonsai
Masakuni Kawasumi II
Masakuni Kawasumi III
Translated by Kay Yokota
Color Photography by Yasuo Saji
Hardcover 112 pages
7 3/4 x 10 3/4"
The Japanese art of bonsai is practiced worldwide, but while basic techniques have been more or less effectively taught, many of the more intriguing ones, as well as recently invented ones, have not. The Secret Techniques of Bonsai remedies this oversight with the thoughtful instruction of second and third generation experts.
Secret Teachings is by the author of the groundbreaking Bonsai with American Trees, one of the first books to unveil the secrets of the trade. This time, Masakuni Kawasumi II teams up with his son, Masakuni III, to offer not only the basics for creating perfect bonsai but secret techniques he has developed over years of careful work and observation. Masakuni III, the first qualified tree doctor for bonsai in Japan, adds his unique insights. Between them they offer over eighty years of experience.
The techniques are simple and intuitive, yet have been developed only after decades of practice and perfection. Detailed information is provided to start, nurture, and shape bonsai. A number of secret techniques are introduced for beginners and experienced enthusiasts alike. The father-and-son team also delves into bonsai tool usage, another area of their expertise, giving the reader a clear sense of how to use specialized tools—or how to better use the garden and workshop tools they have at home. All these make this an invaluable book for beginners and experienced enthusiasts alike.
