Includes 45 lists of plants for specific purposes -- Acid soil, Palms, Order of bloom, Shade, Shrub, Trees, Vines, Weeds, etc. Articles on controls under relevant headings -- Insecticides, Fungicides, etc. This single volume does not include all plants growing in America, much less those growing in gardens. Weeds are considered to have "little value", but the editors make an effort to select plants that may be rare but have comparison value. Different groups of gardeners will find much to aid them. Plants are listed alphabetically with common names cross-indexed. aucune critique | ajouter une critique
