Collecting contributions from 100
distinguished horticulturists, the handsome and
lavishly illustrated American Horticultural
Society A-Z Encyclopedia of Garden Plants is a
truly definitive gardening reference. With its 1,092
tiny-print pages, this may not be the book to tuck
into your pocket as you weed and mulch, but what this
encyclopedia lacks in portability, it certainly makes
up for in scope. Hardy and tender plants, heirloom
varieties and the latest hybrids--they're all
accounted for here, with growing tips and background
information about native habitats and ornamental
features. You'll also find a fascinating section
about botany, as well as information about basic
gardening techniques such as mulching, staking,
pruning, propagating, and protecting plants for
winter. But the encyclopedia's main attraction is the
individual plant entries--more than 15,000 of them,
embellished with 6,000 full-color photographs and
illustrations. From the visual glossary of leaves to
the map of growing regions, The American
Horticultural Society A-Z of Garden Plants
provides an unsurpassed wealth of botanical
information, making it the yardstick by which all
other gardening references must be measured
