With 42 new illustrations, this updated edition has been substantially revised to include the latest advances in horticultural production, with significant revisions to chapters on soil-borne diseases, fertilizers, nursery practices, turf irrigation, and drainage.

Wonderful book. I'm a master gardener, so I want something that gives the nitty-gritty as I might have to explain it to someone else. Readable and clear.

Excellent book with a great deal of detail for the Australian situation. Use it frequently for reference.

Very informative. Just what I needed
