About the book
Foremost in the text is an examination of fundamental horticulture principles, from careers in the field to the cultivation of specific crops. Special care has been taken to treat highly technical subjects, such as plant propagation and taxonomy, in a comprehensive yet understandable manner. A section on pesticides includes up-to-date information on the safety, the protection of humans and the environment, and the use of biological control of pests whenever possible. Certain topics, such as the creation of holiday arrangements, basic floral design, the construction of dish gardens and bonsai plantings, and the cultivation of houseplants, have been added especially for student appeal. - Preface.
