A novice gardener, I bought this book when I needed to get some plants in the ground in my new house; for that it was a disappointment. Don't expect to use it to look up "clematis" and find out how to plant it or how often it needs watering. However, it is a good overall reference.

It was with great joy that I opened this book for the first time. The book is a marvelous compendium of knowledge for all gardeners, no matter the level of skill. The writing is clear and concise. Subject matter is well planned and pleasing to read. Perhaps the most outstanding feature of this book is the index. The references and cross-references are so complete. I give this book my highest recommendation.
