Customer Reviews:________________________________________________________________
This enormous reference book is exactly what an avid gardener needs - with entries covering perennials,
annuals, woodland plants, trees, shrubs, and just about any other plants available both commercially and
naturally. The individual entries contain information about cultivars, propagation, problem pests and diseases,
as well as a concise description of the plant's appearance and growth requirements. Most, though not all,
include a small photograph of at least one specimen. Plants are listed by their botanical names; if you do not
know the genus, you'll have to look up the common name first in the index.
This volume also contains a visual glossary (inside the front cover), and excellent sections on general botany,
the garden environment, and propagation techniques. The only drawback to this otherwise excellent
encyclopedia is the near-impossibility of identifying unknown plants. The entries are not listed (or cross-listed)
by type, requiring the gardener to page through nearly one thousand pages of pictures to identify, say,
a particular woodland plant. And forget leaf identification since most photographs are taken from a distance
to capture the whole of a species.
This would make an excellent gift for any gardener. It is hefty and comprehensive. Especially for those
interested in non-mainstream plants, this book is a must-have.
