This is an excellent propagation book. The propagation methods include step-by-step drawings and some suggested plant material. I use it for the greenhouse I just started running. This book shows you everything from scoring and sowing seed, cutting techniques, layering methods, grafting techniques, plus more. It also includes instruction on how to propagate shrubs and trees. I would recommend it as a great resource even for the more advanced.

Several books are available on this subject and most are not very helpful beyond the most elementary. This book is very detailed and has many drawings showing each move. It is easy for the novice and yet being a British publication has several approaches to problems not found in most American books on the subject. Not a glossy book with colored garden views, but a very practical reference on the art of plant propagation.

I had to purchase this book as an additional resource for plant propogation, but use it more than my text. If you enjoy gardening and propagating this is a great reference.

The book was in great shape, even its spiral binding, and was delivered quickly. I am very happy with my purchase.
