I listened to Neil Sperry on the radio on weekends. So, when I bought my new house, I also decided to buy this book. A tree had already been planted in my front yard. So, I used his botanical illustrations to determine what kind of tree it was. When designing raised guards, I selected most of the plants from this book. On a visit to a local nursery named Winston Gardens, a beautiful wispy plant called River Privet was found. A planned this plant to hide the back fences and give the impression of the forest. I found the plant in a one-paragraph statement in Neil's book. It was everything that he said. I should have looked closer at his varieties paragraph. Maybe he was trying to tell me something. In his radio show, he said that they tend to take over. Ha, not that cute little thing. Three years later, the privets are beautiful. However, I spend my weekends picking up privet-etts from the lawn. Bottom line: do not just buy the book for the pictures. Read it.
