A beautiful book with 200+ vibrant color illustrations to go along with an informative text. Book discusses specific breeding trends, giving relevant facts the gardener needs to know. Book also includes a section with a list of nurseries and mail-order houses across the country that carry these varieties from annuals, perennials, bulbs, roses, and shrubs. A must for the serious gardener or even the Week-end gardener (or for that matter anyone who enjoys a beautiful book).
