by T. W. Sanders (Author)

"The Encyclopaedia of Gardening" is a comprehensive dictionary of hardy and half-hardy plants, trees, shrubs, orchids, ferns, fruits, vegetables, hothouse and greenhouse plants, and much more. For each plant it provides simple descriptions, common names and atin names, origin, season, temperatures, soil types, and much more. This wonderful book constitutes a must-have for serious gardeners and would make for a fantastic addition to collections of related literature. Contents include: "Abaca", "Abelia", "Abeliophyllum", "Abobra", "Abroma", "Abrus", "Absinthium", "Abutilon", "Abyssinian Banana", "Acacallis", "Acacia", "Acaena", "Acalypha", "Acampe", "Acantholimon", "Acanthopanax", "Acanthophoenix", "Acanthophyllum", etc. Many vintage books such as this are increasingly scarce and expensive. It is with this in mind that we are republishing this volume now in an affordable, modern, high-quality edition complete with a specially-commissioned new introduction on the history of gardening.
