Manual of Herbaceous Ornamental Plants

This book was not required but recommended for a course on Herbaceous Plants at the University of Connecticut. I am very happy that chose to purchase it! This is an excellent reference manual for anyone who really wants to know all there is to know about specific herbaceous plants. I will be keeping this one long after my course is over.

There is brief info about a zillion plants. Provides answers to my questions about where the plant will grow best.

I bought it for my Landscaping Plants I class at MSU. It's very thick, but so far very informational. I was assured by my instructors that if I finish my program and stay within this career path, it will become my consant companion. I plan to get every penny I paid for it back out of it in the future.

Steven Still was kind enough to do a fabulous job in writing this wonderful compendium of perennial knowledge. If it isn't in this book, you don't need to know it. It was my textbook for perennials at Ag college, and now is used for reference often! Still the BIBLE, for herbaceous perennials.

I purchased this book to assist in my learning as I am presently taking horticulture classes and need a reference book for herbaceous plants. Also, am designing a landscape and this book is excellent - particularly like the color photos

Both my roomate and I bought this book and the first time we opened them to do some research the pages literally fell out. We paid for brand new books so why is it that they can’t stay together? So many pages fell out in one go that I am going to have to transfer the entire book to paper protectors in a binder. Not happy about it either.

This book is a great reference guide. The pictures help you identify the plants you want to know more about. This book is must for the busy gardener

When the item arrived, I opened the box, looked at my two books, and was really happy, BOTH were in great shape, no ripped pages, no bends. Great products.

This was used as a textbook in my son's horticultural program 15 years ago. His copy was falling apart from use so he requested another one as a gift. (It is relevant for colder climates....we live on Ottawa).
