Product Description

Describing 900 genera and over 8000 plants, this A-Z gardening encyclopaedia also introduces a way of identifying plants from their appearance alone. Hundreds of synonyms and common names are cross-referenced, and the book's coverage encompasses fruit, vegetables, herbs, house plants, flowers, foliage, shrubs and trees. The main benefits, uses and any drawbacks of each plant are pointed out, and there are instructions on cultivation, propagation and pruning techniques, and on dealing with pests and diseases.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent if you are a beginner or first time home buyer, 4 Nov 2002

By A Customer

I purchased my first home a year ago, and had little idea about plants for inside or outside the home. This book could not have been more helpful and I now have a better idea of how I will plant my garden next spring! I love the differnt sections, and now have a better idea of how to care for my plant purchases, as well as shade/sunlight placement. A great present for first time home buyers or gardening enthusiasts.

5.0 out of 5 stars One of the finest compendiums on Gardening zones 4 to 7, 1 April 2001

By A Customer

This book's 1975 edition was given me by my parents. It is a treasure trove of all around gardening expertise in one hard copy book. I recommend it highly and if you are a gardener, within a year or two, yours will be very "used looking." It is a wonderfully written, yet concise encyclopedia of plants, flowers, and garden information.
