Plant Propagation: Pearson New International Edition: Principles and Practices

by Hudson T. Hartmann, Dale E. Kester, Fred T. Davies Jr.

For all undergraduate courses in plant propagation at the two-year and four-year colleges and universities. The world standard for plant propagation and horticulture for over 50 years, Hartmann and Kester's Plant Propagation continues to be the field's most complete, up-to-date text on plant propagation. It now contains color figures throughout, promoting learning and making it an even more useful working text and reference. It also contains extensive updates reflecting the latest commercial techniques and understanding of propagation biology. Like previous editions, it is organized into paired chapters on principles and practices, so it can easily be adapted for teaching courses that cover only practical topics, and for courses that also cover conceptual issues.

[Katy · Rating 5 out of 5]

Very technical, but very exact information that carefully explains the many ways both back-yard gardeners, farmers, and large laboratories bring forth the next generation of thousands of varieties of plants. Crops, flowers, house plants, and more are all covered making this a practical book for any gardener to own. LOTS of pictures which is helpful, but most are in black and white. In the cases of problems with your plants, this can be troublesome as color is usually a good way to diagnose the issues. Still, the information in this book makes it very worth it.
