5.0 out of 5 stars
Another excellent book by Allan Armitage and Timber Press,
By Rick C (Kalispell, MT United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Armitage's Garden Annuals: A Color Encyclopedia (Hardcover)
Mr. Armitage is following the format utilized by his earlier book "Armitage's Garden Perennials" and Michael Dirr's "Dirr's Hardy Trees and Shrubs", providing frank information of common and obscure annuals. Comments such as "Bananas...If you are reading this and are not thinking, 'this guy is nuts!', then you are an open-minded gardener, and we can drink beer together." are what makes this a good book. But the pictures are outstanding. If this book had no words other than the description below the picture, it would be an outstanding book. I now have all the reference I need along with "Armitage's Manual of Annuals, Biennials, and Half-Hardy Perennials". I just need a bigger bookshelf....

This review is from: Armitage's Garden Annuals: A Color Encyclopedia (Hardcover)
Allan Armitage writes as if he were talking to a group of fellow gardeners. He is not pretentious, and writes not with arrogance, but with genuine down to earth knowledge. I love his books, and consider him the 'Michael Dirr' of herbaceous plants.
