If you are a garden designer or like to have a quick visual reference while planning a garden, this is a great book. I don't believe the intention is to provide extensive information, instead this is to be used a resource that is quick and easy. I currently spend a lot of time working on designs for my friends' yards and they love it when I bring this book over. The fact that I am able to show them quick pictures of what to expect is so nice to someone that does not have a "green thumb". Take the book for what it's worth....not all of them are trying to be college text books, and that's a relief.

This attractive handbook is a basic guide for beginning gardeners for selecting plants that will do well in the state. Plants are arranged alphabetically in sections of Annuals, Perennials, Trees & Shrubs, Roses, Vines & Groundcovers, Bulbs, Corms & Tubers, Herbs and Ferns & Ornamental Grasses. Each plant profile includes a nice color photo and minimal information on growing conditions, tips and cultivar recommentations. An okay guide for the beginning gardener - if you are looking for in-depth information, you may want to look elsewhere.
