Listed for each species is the latin pronounciation, common name, height, spread, colour, flowering time, hardiness zones. Then he gives a detailed description along with cultural and propagation info, as well as brief descriptions of the various cultivars available (at the time of printing). I have the 1997 Second Edition. |

Easy to read since he writes in a casual, rather than dry, text book style. Clear descriptions of the botanical differences between species in a particular genus are also included for the scientific minded. This is the book I refer to most often - especially when being seduced by catalog descriptions and claims. Well worth the money. |
