Amazon.com Review
Random House has compiled a unique photographic guide to subtropical plants that can grow indoors, in greenhouses, or even outdoors in frost-free climes. There are excellent color photos of 1,100 plants, complete with the necessary details of history, characteristics, and cultivation. Covering magnolias, passion flowers, hibiscus, and figs, citrus plants, peas, bougainvilleas, and more, this gardening reference is beautifully executed and exceedingly well done.

The book is what I expected it to be as Volume 2 (from a different seller ) arrived before Volume 1. The only thing I wasn't too happy about was that the cover was detached from the book itself. All it took was a little glue but I shouldn't have had to do that. Someone wasn't very careful either inspecting the book or packing it before shipment. Kind of sloppy don't you think?

Extremely thorough. Not for a neophyte as it does assume that you are generally knowledgable about horticulture. Only two trivial complaints. First and foremost, the plants are ordered by latin family names. This will cause some problems, but hey! It is time you learned the scientific names. Temp hardiness is given in centigrade, but a conversion is shown in the front.
Overall, a great asset and provides a lot of detail that you will not find elsewhere.
