Is the second one the book you're referencing? Is it a good book to add to a tomato grower's wish list?
I have the second book and it's a very interesting read. I think it's worth a place on any tomato lover's bookshelf. The chapter describing the tomato pill craze is a real hoot.

One last word of farewell, Dear Master and Mistress.

Whenever you visit my grave,
say to yourselves with regret
but also with happiness in your hearts
at the remembrance of my long happy life with you:

"Here lies one who loved us and whom we loved."

No matter how deep my sleep I shall hear you,
and not all the power of death
can keep my spirit
from wagging a grateful tail.
