John Bryan's substantive revision to his original magnum opus
published in 1989 -- selected by the American Horticultural Society
as one of the 75 great American gardening books-- provides expanded
coverage of some 230 genera and a staggering number of species,
varieties, and cultivars. Genera are treated with detail
appropriate to their importance, with information on history,
classification, culture, propagation, pests and diseases, uses, and
species and cultivars. Detailed encyclopedic plant listings are
complemented by an equally comprehensive pictorial presentation.
Not only are there more than 1100 color photographs -- many showing
the plants in their natural habitats -- but there are also 43 color
reproductions of botanical illustrations from 19th-century issues
of "Curtis's Botanical Magazine" and other publications, taken from
the author's extensive collection.
