5.0 out of 5 stars A true Horticulturists guide, February 7, 2000

By 

Rob Roy (Canada) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Trees and Shrubs: Hardy in the British Isles (Volume II: D-M) (Hardcover)

This is a 5 volume masterpiece which is definitely the quintessential guide for the very keen gardener and the horticultural professional and would also be an extremely good companion for the student in this industry. W. J. Bean takes us through many genera from A to Z and also includes some principals in the very first volume. A real gem. The books are fairly pricey which is not surprising due to the immense amount of work which went in to producing all the volumes. A true classic.
