"Quality Plant Images, Poor Reference"
Written By: J. Rawyk
Poorly organized with no discernible logic. The lack of a sectioned table of contents is irritating. Works more like a coffee-table book than a serious reference book. Common Name given first, Latin name subtitled, with height and spread in feet and zone hardiness below, followed by a short general description describing habit, form, flowering, etc. Photographs are noteworthy and probably the only merit of this book.
