Reviews

Goulding's encyclopedic book starts with a history of this popular plant and continues with chapters on propagation, soils, fertilizers, potting procedures, greenhouses and environmental controls, shaping and pruning, bedding, exhibiting, pests and diseases, and hybridizing. Goulding discusses fuchsias with ornamental foliage, white-flowered and terminal-flowering fuchsias, and what he calls novelty types. A chapter on growing fuchsias in baskets and other containers is followed by one that offers a month-by-month calendar of care. Included is a descriptive list of all known species in alphabetical order. This comprehensive guide is to be heavily illustrated. George Cohen
