SUMMARY OR ABSTRACT
Text of Note
"Allan M. Armitage has compiled descriptions and assessments of 245 genera of annuals, biennials, and half-hardy perennials for American gardeners. Focusing on plant identification, successful culture, and primary garden attributes, Armitage discusses 279 species in detail and summarizes the distinguishing features of hundreds of cultivars, many of which he has tested himself. Standards like begonias and pelargoniums are juxtaposed with newcomers from Australia, and all are subject to Armitage's critical eye. Color photos and line drawings illustrate the text, and Armitage suggests additional reading in books, articles, and web sites for many of the genera."
Text of Note
"Armitage bases his descriptions on extensive personal experience, sprinkling entries with strong and sometimes amusing opinions that keep potentially dry details fresh. Useful lists in the appendix are further evidence of his expertise. These lists - of biennials, half-hardy perennials, winter annuals, shade-tolerant plants, fragrant plants, climbing plants, and everlastings - extend the volume's application beyond a necessary tool for horticulturists and nurserymen to a practical guide for the dedicated home gardener."--BOOK JACKET
