On a Need to Know Basis,
This review is from: Illinois Gardener's Guide (Paperback)
An easy to use reference book which tells the Illinois gardner what to plant, where to plant, and when to prune. It's a very useful handbook for novice and not-so-novice midwest gardners.

Handy Reference,
By
This review is from: Illinois Gardener's Guide: Revised Edition (Gardener's Guides) (Paperback)
This is a handy reference for Illinois gardeners with quite a bit of inside info - what will really grow here and what won't -and I often refer to it. The information on specific varieties could be a little more meaty but overall this is well worth the price. I bought a copy of the first edition of this book and it wasn't very good. If you did also you should give Fizzell a second chance - this revised edition is much better.
