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

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.
