taylor's guide to groundcovers,
By A Customer
This review is from: Ground Covers, Vines, and Grasses (Taylor's Gardening Guides) (Paperback)
This is a thorough, clear, concise reference guide to vines and ground covers. Very complete, excellent photos, well organized. I checked it out of the library with several similar books and liked it so much I decided to buy it.
