Volume I: Trees and Shrubs, (A photographic record of the genera of trees and shrubs of interest to gardeners.) 491 pages, all intact and nice tight binding. This volume deals with trees, shrubs and climbers and covers over 450 genera of woody plants. The book begins with the genera whose ancestors can be traced back to the Jurassic period, tree ferns, ginkos and conifers, and ranges in botanical order through the earliest flowering plants, such as the bewitchingly somple magnolia and its family, to the catkin-bearing trees and familiar fruit trees, maples and other advanced flowering plants, concluding with the distinctive cordyline, palm and bamboo families. Volume II: Perennials and Annuals, (The genera of herbaceous plants of interest to gardeners.) 539 pages, all intact, nice tight binding. This volume deals with the herbaceous plants and covers over 550 genera of annuals, biennials, perennials, bulbs and aquatic plants. DNA studies have proved vital in the classification of these plants and science is now providing definitive answers where previously classification was precise. The book moves through all the flowering plants, starting with the ancient and intriguing mosses and ferns, and ending with distinctive reeds and grasses that are fundamental to modern gardening. A truly delightful pair of books that have been painstaking researched, beautifully crafted and very well presented. An ideal pair of books for all gardeners. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers 1045
