Customer Reviews

I wondered why my seeds wouldn't come up.I

I have gone back to this book time after time. How to treat the seeds you pick up in the woods or gather in the pasture makes all the difference whether they come up. Also watering, when and how much, this book covers it all. Lots of pictures and interesting info on many different types of flowers, trees, vines, etc. well organized.

Award Winner for Book Design

This book has received an Award of Excellence for book design in the 2001 Southern Books Competition. "Lovely green cloth binding opens to stunning title page typography that sits upon faint leaves. The typographic design is classic without being boring. Details, like the screened-back ornaments on the Contents page speak to the refinement of the design." Congratulations to the author and illustrator, designer Ellen McKie, and the University of Texas Press.

Answers to all your questions about how to make more plants

If you are serious about learning more about plants, all forms of propogation, then this is the book for you. It gets technical, but again, if you are serious, then you can figure it out. Comprehensive, well organized, good drawings, good glossary (no pronunciation guide though)and good index. A must have reference. Thanks to Ms Nokes.
