Book Reviews of Annuals and Biennials

Book Review: Great Guide and resource
Summary: 5 Stars

One of the best annual plants books I have ever seen. A no-nonsense approach to annuals and perennials. Plus loads of beautiful pictures and discriptions. This book should be on the shelf of every professional landscaper, gardener, and weekend gardender. It is worth the original publisher's price, but the discounted price makes it all the more attractive!
