Ok, its called "seeds the ultimate guide to growing successfully from seed" the author is Jekka McVicar and the isbn number is 1-58574-874-9 it was published by the lyons press and their web site is www.lyonspress.com i hope that helps. Its 256 pages long and covers many, many types of plants.

I don't if this is the book you are looking for as it just talks about the different methods of sowing certain type of seeds but nothing about identifying that I could find.
