I purchased this book 4 years ago and since then I have hardly used the books I had previously. This book covers everything from planning to troubleshooting problems. It has an excellent glossary that makes it very easy to find exactly what you are looking for. It has information from the very basic to professional without being boring. If I could have only one book on gardening this would be it. Since it is out of print my family always calls me for answers from it on their gardening problems. I hope it will be reprinted.

This review is based on the two books I own. 10,000 Garden Questions, Answered By 20 Experts, Volume 1, Third Edition 1974. 10,000 Garden Questions, Answered By 20 Experts, Volume 2, Third Edition 1974. These books I own may be old but the 10,000 questions are real and the answers they provide are still useful and very much needed. Actually the volume contains 13,000 questions all answered by twenty horticultural authorities. Sections include: Soils and Fertilizers, Planning and Landscaping,Ornamental Plants and Their Culture, Trees, Shrubs, and Vines, Bulbs, Tubers and Corms, Roses, Perennials, Annuals and Biennials, Lawns and Turf Areas,The Home Vegetable garden, Home-Grown Fruits, House Plants, Plant troubles and Their Control, Weeds and Regional Garden Problems. I've referred to these books many times when I was thinking of growing Pumpkin or Corn. Even Radishes and Lettuce. How about those nice Ladybugs!
