The
Bedding Plant Expert
by Dr D. G. Hessayon (1991)
|
|
Britain's
best selling book on annuals by miles and instantly
recognisable as part of the unique Expert series, you'll get
more information for your money here than in any other
book.
There's a substantial pictorial A-Z featuring recommended
varieties and tips on raising and growing the plants;
there's lots of advice on container gardening and bedding
schemes plus some very clear colour drawings showing the
various pest and disease problems which sometimes attack the
plants &endash; and recommending how to deal with them.
The books in this series are sometimes criticised for their
punchy, straightforward presentation, their reliance on bold
diagrams and their dependence on the formula. But the
formula is a successful one and there's no denying that this
is the way to get the most information, text and pictures,
into the space and so give the reader the best possible
value.
