Advanced gardeners will find this book helpful as a refresher and as a reference source.

Modern gardening books tend to be heavy on beautiful pictures light on useful information that goes beyond the very basic, very beginner level. While this older book does not have the best and brightest pictures, it is full of useful, in depth information and charts that I find myself returning to over and over again.
