Herbaceous Ornamental Plants,
By guy bradley (Chesterfield, MO United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Manual of Herbaceous Ornamental Plants (Paperback)
Enormous book, excellent coverage. Black and white, limited color prints in special section. For each species complete data are given on usage, growth habit, season of bloom, culture, propagation, and diseases. Includes notes on many cultivars, although a bit dated now (1994 revision). This is where I go first for information on perennials. An example of a book which goes for information rather than looking pretty. Used as a textbook in college horticulture courses.

The Best,
By A Customer
This review is from: Manual of Herbaceous Ornamental Plants (Hardcover)
As an employee of a prominent local retailer of perennials, I find this book essential in identifying the plants our customers are seeking. A few descriptive words or a common name and we are well on our way to knowing what the plant was that "Aunt Millie" had in her garden. A gem of a book.

Clear, concise, and chock full of information,
By A Customer
This review is from: Manual of Herbaceous Ornamental Plants (Paperback)
I am a landscape design student and we used this book to cover Herbaceous Plant Materials I & II. I found the book very useful as it contained all information necessary, with drawings and pictures. It contained about 95% of all the plants covered (of course I guess that's on the whim of the professor). I'm sure it will be a useful tool once I'm working in the field. And it's definitely a lot cheaper here than at the bookstore at college.
