This encyclopedia is really two books: the first half is a complete guide to the botany, cultivation, propagation, and pests and diseases of ferns; and the second half, "Ferns to Grow," provides growing information for hundreds of species. Excellent color photos, diagrams, and line drawings complement the lucid text.

This handsome fern book is intended for gardeners, not botanists, although it does include quite a lot of botanical information and descriptions of over 700 fern species. The rest of the book covers structure, culture and propagation, and diseases and pests. Two particularly useful features are a list of ferns suitable for various habitats both indoors and out, and an international list of fern societies and study groups. Numerous excellent and informative photos and drawings complement the text. The author, an Australian horticulturist, has been studying ferns for almost 20 years. Recommended for general horticultural collections. Katharine Galloway Garstka, Intergraph Corp., Huntsville, Ala.
