Synopsis: W.J. Bean's great book is the standard work used by professional and amateur alike. A mass of accurate information is combined with an informal style to produce a blend of botanical description, horticulture, and personal experience that is quite unique. The concise descriptions are accompanied by details of distribution, history, distinctive characteristics and merits, and cultivation.
