Full Description

Quarto. 4 vols, containing in all 2316pp, many text ills. Pub cloth.

Concerned with garden plants, not with garden design or garden buildings, but this is a dictionary which provides reliable and concise information on every plant that any gardener could possibly want to grow, as well as on a multitude of other plants that the average gardener will never have the luck to see. This is a more or less unchanged reprint of the four volumes forming the dictionary proper, originally issued in this edition in 1956 (there was also a concurrently published supplement).
