This book is one of the required texts for a 200 series Nursery Management class in a local community college's Horticulture program. Not only have I found this book to be deeply informational, but I've found topics here which I believed could not be put in words - only demonstrated. It's an excellent investment that will re numerate it's practitioners many times over.
