edited by Ted Marston (1993)
|
|
One of the
Hearst Garden Guides, this book is based on Elvin
MacDonald's original work for the Good Housekeeping
Illustrated Encyclopaedia of Gardening. With its expert
editor it combines the work of two of the country's
authorities on the subject together with many photographs by
Andrew Lawson, one of Britain's leading plant
photographers.
Utterly dependable and full of good, basic information the
book is arranged in an A-Z format augmented by a
pronunciation guide, valuable common name/botanical name
cross references and a star system of ranking to provide
instant advice for newcomers to the subject.
There are recommendations of varieties, guidance on how best
to raise them, plenty of pictures and all in all the book
combines plenty of good information, without in the least
being intimidating, with some helpful ways of presenting
information &endash; at a good price.
