Editorial Reviews

From Library Journal

This comprehensive index will help public and horticultural librarians find informtion about 10,000 edible and ornamental plants, including growing information, illustrations, and miscellany. Arranged alphabetically by botanical name with cross-references by common and alternative names, this bibliography/source list of 105 garden encyclopedias and books published in the 1980s and 1990s gives notes on each book's content, arrangement, and illustrations. In addition to the major reference books, the list includes popular trade books, series, and some regional titles. The bibliography is useful for collection development as well. Clewis, a librarian and LJ reviewer, seems to have thought of everything, including an index for over 100 special situations (e.g., boggy soil, fireproof plants, etc.). Highly recommended.
