Pages: 10 (including cover and credits). Sizes: A4 (210 × 297 mm) and US Letter (8.5 × 11 in), both PDFs included in one zip.

Printing: Print at 100% / actual size on A4 or US Letter. Inside pages use light backgrounds and print well in black and white; covers are dark, so start from page 2 to save ink.

Every fact is checked against named source pages from the RHS, University of Minnesota Extension, Kew, Encyclopaedia Britannica and the US Supreme Court record (Library of Congress, Justia and Cornell LII) (checked 30 Oct 2026), and the sources are listed on the pack’s credits page. Where sources disagree, each version is shown with its source.

There are no photos in this pack: all drawings, puzzles and layouts are REALLYBYTE’s own work. Drawings are simplified impressions, not identification photos and not to scale, and not copied from any guide, photo or book. Not affiliated with the RHS, Garden Organic, the University of Minnesota, Kew, Encyclopaedia Britannica, Justia, Cornell Law School, the Library of Congress or any seed company.
