The book was what I wanted, and in good condition. I'm happy with my purchase.
Pleased recipient October 5, 2008
I enjoyed an earlier copyright of this book and the new one is improved. Great reference for any gardener, especially those that want to do the best they can with the perennials.
Useful stuff November 4, 2006
Most garden books concentrate on flower type, color, pairing or such. This book gets you into the day to day maintance such as pinching, dead heading and pruning in a stright forward manner. By following these guides a gardener will end up with much fuller longer lasting flowers. If done with perenials the pinched tops can be just stuck in the ground in a shady spot and have new plans even if 75% do not start.

Not your average gardening book March 21, 2006

This is not another book of pretty pictures of flowers. The book takes you from start (preparing the soil), to caring for your plants (pruning tips), to finish (dividing mature plants).
 Excellent, practical advice for novices and more October 24, 2005

I've been gardening for 4 years and I learned a few really useful things from Tracy's book; enough to keep it on my list of "most wanted" gardening books. There is a great deal of information on preparing beds, soil amendment, planting and some creative pruning ideas. I think of this book the same way I think of Jaques Pepin's "La Technique" when it comes to cooking. It's a basic, a classic, and it should be on your shelf, or better yet in front of you.
