Book Description
Editorial Reviews
From Booklist
Toogood concentrates his attention on more than 200 perennials, annuals, bulbs, and biennials that are popular sources of color, fragrance, and seasonal garden interest. Opening chapters deal with basic cultural information, followed by an encyclopedic plant directory that provides in-depth analysis of specific plants, augmented by handy charts, useful tips, and dramatic color photographs. The final section is devoted to troubleshooting through the use of an ingenious maze that guides readers through the intricate steps of identifying pests or diseases in such an entertaining way that gardeners may half wish for an infestation of aphids just so they can use this delightful diagnostic tool. Cleverly designed, carefully developed, and concisely detailed, this new gardening book is an indispensable, easy-to-use resource for horticultural information. Carol Haggas
