This review is from: Garden Ferns (Plantfinder's Guide) (Paperback)
ferns are some of my favorite plants. This is a great book and I have had it a while I use it every time I teach a class on ferns. I really like the comarison shots of the different selection. THose really help to Identify labeless plants. I would have like some of the info in a bullit points at the beging or end of each enrty. for height hardiness and the like the stuff that every entry should have this would have made the book easier to use. BUt that doesn't mean I wouldn't get it I love this book. It is a must have.

This review is from: Garden Ferns (Plantfinder's Guide Series) (Hardcover)
I am a gardener (for research) in China,these days I thought of using ferns on landscafe,I have know few about how to grow the ferns before.By a chance,I read the book at a professor's home,'Oh,it is very usefull for me!',I thought at the same time.But...but I dont know how to get the book. I think the book is very usefull for all the people who like the ferns,or the people who want to grow the ferns.
