Bird approaches the topic of perennial gardening by offering a brief course in various facets of planning and preparing a new garden. Basic advice includes design considerations and cultivation, propagation, and maintenance of perennials. Bird touches on concerns that are specific to different types of gardens, such as woodland and water gardens, and wildflower, herb, and cottage gardens. A good part of the text is devoted to a list of hardy perennials, consisting mainly of descriptions and required plant care. Beginners will probably find Bird's book of more interest than will more advanced gardeners. There are black-and-white line drawings as well as color photographs. Alice Joyce
