Reader Reviews:
The very first book any budding Horticulturalist should buy (14/14 people found this helpful)
This book is fantastic. After looking up just a few names in this book and finding out the fascinating derivations and origins of the names you will find yourself looking up every new plant name you hear just to find out if the name has some interesting history. Also excellent for anyone who wants to project the image of a well-informed plantsman without having to try!!!
