Book Reviews of American Horticultural Society A to Z Encyclopedia of Garden Plants
Book Review: Great Learning Tool - That is for sure!
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought this as an "I'm proud of you" gift for my wife who is in the horticulture program at the local college. There is not a day that goes by that she does not refer to this book, sometimes for very long periods.
Even though not required for any of her classes, this book is used more than some of the required textbooks. Great learning tool.
(My only surprise was that the walnut tree was not in it!)

This is a great book! I'm very happy with it. The common names are listed as well as the latin names so it's easy to cross reference. I can simplify my gardening library now!Book Review: A-Z

Summary: 5 Stars
I have been through my book, cover to cover twice so far and the second time through I found plants I thought were missing the first time and both were in photographings of said plants. It(the book) has helped me tremendously as a Master Gardener in selecting plants to propagate wisely for the community butterfly gardens I am now planting from the plants that I have grown from seeds or cuttings at least 90%. The other few were from wise purchases. We(mastergardeners) keep this bible in the shelves to assist the Master Gardener answering the "hotline" with questions about any kind of plants or problems people in Polk County, Fl have to ask our help in solving. I will probably be getting one on propagation to complete my needs and if one for Florida exists, it will be one that I review! I bought the encyclopedia so I could have it at home for personal refrence.

Book Review: Carol H
Summary: 5 Stars
An illustrated, complete book of garden plants. Offers great information for the advanced as well as the novice gardener. One negative aspect is it's size and weight. Very cumbersome to handle which is not conducive to longevity of the spine of the book. Would have been better published in two volumes.
