The first English translation, revised and expanded, of the classic German plant encyclopedia first published 40 years ago. The core of the book is an alphabetical description by genus and species of plants considered hardy in temperate climates and recognized as having garden merit, as well as some species of less aesthetic but greater botanic interest. The presentation combines botanical information, guidance on cultivation, and suggestions for effective landscape use, and includes some 1,000 photographs, about two-thirds in color.
