10,000 GARDEN QUESTIONS ANSWERED BY 15 EXPERTS

Among the experts, Alex Laurie (on soil); Montague Free (on ornamental plants); F.F. Rockwell himself on several subjects; Helen Wilson and Esther Grayson on indoor plants; Cynthia Westcott on plant troubles and disease; and others whose names are known to long-term gardeners. Each section has some basic introductory material, followed by questions and answers arranged under main headings. The value of the book will depend largely on the extent of the cross indexing, for so much ground is covered -- related to every phase of garden interest -- that virtually any question that could occur in the course of a gardener's experience will be found. It is amazing how concisely and concretely the information is given. A volume to stand close at hand on every garden shelf.
