I made a big mistake a few years ago by selling this book at a garage sale. Since I've recently become a homeowner, I've really missed it, and am relieved to find it here. An authoritative book, and a great resource.

This book was recomended to me by my local horticulturelist from the nursury. I got here on amazon and it is the best gardening book I have ever read. And I have a lot of garden books.In depth how-to's on everything from how to palnt a tree to how to prune almost any paticular shrub. With great illustrations from start to finish. It really is a great book. I highly recomend it as well.

I've had this book for five years now, and every year I pore over it intently before gardening season starts. My sister, who has had hers for 30 years, uses hers constantly, too. Easy to read format, user-friendly organization, extensive and specific instructions for each type of plant, shrub, and tree. This is a great basic book to have as a reference for all types of gardeners. I have vegetable, flower, rock, shade, and pond gardens, with all types of flowering trees and shrubs, and this book has been my constant companion. This is the older new edition -- the new one didn't seem as extensive in scope.

This book is very informative, in good condition and just what i was looking for.
