Review
Ernie Lythgoe Coastal Grower : By far the best gardener's dictionary I have seen to date.
Hort : Carry it in your pocket and never again be at a loss for a botanical name.
Digger : Its sheer utility will commend it to every gardener. But, beyond that, readers will find it a delightful collection of plant lore, history, places, and plantsmen.
Fred Archibald Frederick News-Post : Dictionary of Plant Names is current, expertly written and-important to gardeners-easy to use.
Plants and Gardens News : a wonderfully concise guide to the morass of botanical and common names.
A. Carman Clark Camden Herald : The Timber Press small hardcover will fit in the glove compartment... and be a take-it-with-you aid on every garden tour and visit to public gardens.
Lynette Walther Palatka Daily News : The real beauty of this incredible handbook is in its information.
Cynthia Boyd St. John's Express : A brilliant all-words/no-pictures handbook.
Book Description
Wonderfully useful and complete, this little book includes common name cross-references, geographical distribution, and name origins, all at a bargain price. Pronunciations given are decidedly Britannic, but this seems a trivial matter in a book that fills so essential a need so conveniently.
