Synopsis
Designed to help gardeners choose plants in two different ways, the AHS Great Plant Guide features color photos, A-Z and planting guides, and cold-hardiness and heat-zone maps. Over 1,000 plants have full entries, full-color photographs, and details that tell you what type of plant it is, how it grows, what its ornamental features are, where it grows and looks best, and how to care for it. A special section on popular annuals and bedding plants has been added to this edition.

Review
All new gardeners need a basic plant encyclopedia as one of their first reference books. This pocket-size guide is just that, a great source for identifying and caring for plants from anemones to yuccas. Close-up color photos will aid any gardener attempting to name that funny-looking flower by the door, or which type of maple is living in your new back yard. Because this book is arranged alphabetically, complete novices will find it easier to search by looking at the pictures than by using the names--quick, what's a papaver rhoeas?
The planting guide, which includes a brightly colored zonal map, is divided into sections of both plant groupings (colorful foliage, good in containers) and climate concerns (shade, drought). By cross-referencing these areas, beginners will have a selection of sure-fire winners for their first attempts. While you'll be tempted to dive right into choosing plants, take a moment to read the introduction--you'll find the planting code hidden there, and it's better to have those mysterious symbols decoded from the start.
The glossy cover and sturdy binding make this a great little title to drag right out in to the garden with you. The cover wipes clean easily, and the folding inside flap makes a handy place marker. --Jill Lightner
