Description: Finally!!! The sixth edition of the horticultural "Bible” by Michael Dirr is a major revision, featuring expanded descriptions of former entries, over 2,000 new species and cultivars, trademark names and patent numbers, as well as all species, subspecies and variety names verified using the GRIN taxonomic data base (germplasm resources information network) and other sources. The book is rich, accurate, substantive, and written in Dirr’s engaging style. This new edition includes notes and observations from Dr. Dirr’s sabbatical to Hillier Arboretum in England, which holds the greatest collection of hardy woody plants in the world. Additionally, while on sabbatical the author visited and studied woody plants at 112 gardens and nurseries. Dr. Dirr interacts with the American nursery industry to learn what is new. The fifth edition gathered immediate praise and acceptance, winning many honors. It is considered to be an essential book for horticulturists and was namedby the American Horticulture Society as one of the 75 great garden books published since 1922. Nobody was surprised. We use our copy daily- it's the book that is never out of reach. The sixth edition promises to raise the standard even higher. Shipping cost for this item is 10.00, 5.00 if ordered with additional items. | ||||
