5.0 out of 5 stars A work of very considerable value and content, 5 Feb 2002
By A Customer
This review is from: Hardy Geraniums (Hardcover)
This new (second) edition of the now well respected 1985 edition is a work of very considerable value and content. It is a must for anyone interested in the genus Geranium. Although the number of pages has only increased from 192 to 218 there is a vast amount of new information. This has been made possible by increasing the number of words per page. The presentation is greatly improved and I have found it easier to locate specific plants from the index which has been simplified. It is good to read the compliments paid to Alan Bremner for his outstanding work on hybridisation and a new Appendix III details the many interspecific hybrids divided into five groups. This will appeal to so many of us who struggle with the cultivar names which abound! The International Registrar, David Victor, has also been singled out for his support and dedication to the genus.

The increased number of colour plates are very welcome and show a number of lesser known species which will become more popular as a result of being seen perhaps for the first time. G. antrorsum is a good example. The book is mainly about identification and the format layout of the multi access key (Chapter 8) has been improved. It says much for the author's original scholarship and professional approach to a subject beyond most us that the keys have not required any amendment, at least none that I could detect! The dichotomous key has been extended and developed considerably to make identification much simpler.

There is no other publication currently available which has such wealth of information so carefully researched and so simply and well presented. This new edition of the monograph about Hardy Geraniums continues to lead and compliment the less academic publication, The Gardener's Guide to Growing Hardy Geraniums, by Trevor Bath and Joy Jones. The Hardy Plant Society booklet, Hardy Geraniums for the Garden, revised last year by Joy Jones, will continue to meet an even less academic but more practical readership...Andrew Norton
