I have chosen three helpful titles for browsing this summer. One is a very comprehensive encyclopaedia and two are handy little books with impressive contents.
“Encyclopedia of Water Garden Plants”
By Greg Speichert
Publisher Comments: “Encyclopedia of Water Garden Plants”is the definitive photographic reference to the full range of plants available to the water gardener. This volume includes hundreds of water garden plants often overlooked in other books, such as marginal plants, floating plants, bog plants, and submerged plants. Of course, water lilies and lotuses are described in detail as well. The encyclopedia offers complete information on hardiness, culture, propagation, and pests and diseases. With more than 700 beautiful color photos and helpful introductory chapters on pots, soils, and fertilizers, this book promises to be the bible for the selection and cultivation of every watr garden plant. |
