Reviews

Sponsored by the Garden Club of America to encourage horticultural diversity through the planting of less familiar but noteworthy plants, these extensively cross-referenced volumes present wonderful profiles of the best garden trees and shrubs. Each entry contains at least two color photos, a physical description, culture, landscape value, and a list of the public gardens where the plant can be observed. The appendixes are very useful, especially the listing of nurseries from which each specimen can be obtained.
