Garden Plants for Everyone

   The lasting appeal of gardening as a hobby is largely due to its amazing variety; both in the enormous range of plant material and in the ever-changing seasons. None of us, even after a lifetime of gardening, cease to be thrilled by a new cultivar or surprised by some freak of nature, nor could we claim to have a complete understanding of every aspect of this fascinating subject.
   Hence the need for every home gardener, whatever his level of experience, to take expert advice at some time or other. It is this need for information on fine plants, clearly and concisely presented, which Garden Plants for Everyone sets out to satisfy.
   The team of distinguished contributors between them cover the whole area of decorative gardening and give invaluable guidance on a very large number of plants. What this book does, above all else, is to concentrate the attentions of the reader on a manageable selection of the best and most rewarding genera, species and cultivars. Scfwhether your interest lies in ornamental trees and shrubs, conifers, heathers, roses, herbaceous perennials, rock plants, bulbous plants, annuals and biennials or pool and waterside plants, you can be sure to find sound specialist advice within these pages.
   If you are making a new garden or adding plants to an existing one, this book will be of inestimable value. You will almost certainly find it, too, of equal value as a permanent record of the plants which are making the running on the gardening scene. In addition, the many superb colour pictures and black and white illustrations are an inspiration in themselves.
