About this title

Book Description:

This is the latest edition of an acknowledged garden classic. The book is organized by plant type--low-growing, medium-growing, and tall-growing shrubs; trees, vines, and conifers--with descriptions, including growth habit and height, hardiness rating, and sun and sail requirements. Each plant is illustrated with a color photograph showing garden usage. This new edition includes new photographs of many species and cultivars that better demonstrate the plants' salient characteristics. Gardeners everywhere in zones 6-10--including parts of Australia and New Zealand--have long relied on Courtright's encyclopedia as the handiest source of information on and inspiration for plants for specific landscape uses. They will continue to be well served by this third revised edition.
