This is one of the most comprehensive books out there for problems. We purchased our first book twenty years ago (without Amazon's discount). Our neighbors come to us to find solutions to their problems and have added the book to their Christmas list. As for the person that gave it three stars, it's the Ortho book, you think they should recommend someone else's product?

This is the same book, (The Ortho Problem Solver),
that my local nursery used when I went in with my questions and problems. I am now able to see the problems with my plants, take digital pictures, and then compare with the pictures in the book. This allows me to not only learn to spot the problems including insects,but allows me to develop a plan to correct what I have found. The book also gives the name of the chemicals that should be used to rid the garden of pests and diseases. This book is the latest version and should last many many years. It also includes trees, shrubs, and flowers. Its a wonderful resource for anyone who loves gardening of all types, and for someone who just loves the feel of fresh tilled dirt between their toes, and the satisfaction of watching things grow.

This is the definitive resource book for gardeners and those dealing with plant problems. Excellent pictorial treatment avoids mistakes in diagnosis. Nothing else on the market is comparable. Get the latest version when you buy because chemicals are being updated continually and you will want to keep it all your life.

I found this to be a must have reference book for gardeners who want to know what they have and how they can control it. Great addition to personal library.

I purchased this book to use at work, such a great tool to reference to all the time.
It is organized very well, easy to use. Only one drawback, the solutions are all Ortho
chemicals which aren't available in Canada. Valuable tool none the less, I'm happy with
my purchase.

We're been using this book since it was "only" $150 in 1994. It has saved us innumerable trees, shrubs, time, and headaches. I shamelessly over-spent to buy this for my wife's birthday, and my one regret is not being able to afford it a decade earlier.

This product if very valuable. Plenty of information, much of it not pushing Ortho's products. Balanced and practical. A good investment for the home or greenhouse gardener.

Once again Ortho has produced an invaluable reference book for the serious or amateuer gardener. This book has so much crucial information in it that can help anyone turn a black thumb into a green one. I would not be without it!
