That book is kind of hard to track down now a days, but I found a pdf that is the first 14 or so page of it. Unfortunately that's like only a third of the total bookView Image
My HS biology teacher wrote that book. Think it was published in '72. He's well know in Boston area horticulture under another name. Peter Oakum is a pen name.
Glad I found this thread, I'm a Masshole too. I grew my first crop outdoors in Sharon Mass in 1968.
I went out to the green house today to find one almost dead from unexplainable death. This plant was perfectly healthy on Tuesday and basically dead today.

Dood if you can find that and get it scanned, that would be a great boon to the new england growing community, I think.You're right about that AgentPothead, matter of fact I think I got one of the last copies when I realized it was out of print. I actually have another copy somewhere around that Peter gave me years ago, but can't find it.
I should take pics of the pages and upload here, eh?
