"The Encyclopaedia of Gardening" is a comprehensive dictionary of hardy
and half-hardy plants, trees, shrubs, orchids, ferns, fruits,
vegetables, hothouse and greenhouse plants, and much more. For each
plant it provides simple descriptions, common names and atin names,
origin, season, temperatures, soil types, and much more. This wonderful
book constitutes a must-have for serious gardeners and would make for a
fantastic addition to collections of related literature. Contents
include: "Abaca", "Abelia", "Abeliophyllum", "Abobra", "Abroma",
"Abrus", "Absinthium", "Abutilon", "Abyssinian Banana", "Acacallis",
"Acacia", "Acaena", "Acalypha", "Acampe", "Acantholimon",
"Acanthopanax", "Acanthophoenix", "Acanthophyllum", etc. Many vintage
books such as this are increasingly scarce and expensive. It is with
this in mind that we are republishing this volume now in an affordable,
modern, high-quality edition complete with a specially-commissioned new
introduction on the history of gardening.
