Excellent two volumed encyclopidia (V1 A-j, V2 K-Z).

Sections on how to use the book, botany for the gardener, cultivation and ornamental plant groups.

main bulk of both volumes in an A-Z which gives brief description, into on hardiness, cultivation, propagation and pests & diseases. Also info on cultivars and variants. Some small thumbnail photos and line drawings for illustration.

18 years ago the first edition appeared. The British Royal Horticultural Society decided to publish a complete revised and extended new version in 2006. The Dutch translation is from 2007.

The best reference book on garden plants you'll ever need. Big and bulky but it's worth the weight.

Standaardwerk met veel foto's en goede informatie.
