From Booklist
Timber Press, one of the more prolific publishers of books for gardeners, horticulturists, and botanists, provides readers with this first-rate guide to magnolias. In her introduction, Callaway points out that the flower was first cultivated by Chinese monks, to whom the flowers symbolized purity, as early as A.D. 650; it was introduced to European gardens in 1688. Callaway explains the biology and terminology of 80 species, followed by chapters on the species' culture, propagation, taxonony (naming and classification), cross-breeding, and hybridizers. The list of species offers information on each plant's scientific name, common name, native range, historical background, garden merits, flowering and fruiting dates, and cultivars and hybrids. George Cohen
Product Description
An up-to-date encyclopedic reference to all known species, with the most complete listing of cultivars yet published. Since most magnolias are highly ornamental their garden use is a primary focus of the book, though every aspect of magnolias from history to hybridizing is treated.
