Botany Encyclopedia of Plants and Botanical Dictionary (227 words) |
 | Our Plant Encyclopedia provides information regarding the general description of the plants, the various methods of cultivation, such as indoor or outdoor planting, soil and temperature requirements, pruning, and other important details, the means of propagation (seeds, cuttings, division, etc.), and the different varieties and hybrids. |
 | When buying plants and seeds from the garden and plant store, you should first check with Botany.com for the appropriate temperature and climate zones, since some plants and seeds do not do well under certain climatic and temperature conditions. |
 | The garden and plant store and Botany.com are easy to use. |
| Taylors Encyclopedia of Garden Plants edited by frances tenenbaum reviewed at Farmers Market Online (343 words) |
 | Unlike other encyclopedias that become dated due to political, social and scientific changes, the Taylor's Encyclopedia of Garden Plants is sure to stand the test of time as probably the most complete and authoritative guide to ornamental flowers, trees and shrubs in North American gardens. |
 | The editors of this enyclopedia, chiefly Frances Tenenbaum, selected for "desirable plants for American gardens" when deciding which plants to include in the volume. |
 | Most listings include a description of the plant, tips on growing it successfully, and some background on related cultivars and similar species. |
