VINTAGE 1998 Large Trade Paperback Complete Woody Plants Reference. "Manual Of Woody Landscape Plants: Their Identification, Ornamental Characteristics, Culture, Propagation And Uses" by Michael Dirr. VERY LARGE TRADE PAPERBACK 1998 Stipes Publishing Reprint Edition 10th printing with number 10 on copyright page.

"The front part of the book contains basic scientific information about woody plants: leaf structure and how it is defined, reproduction, flower structure, etc. The body of the book is species of plants and cultivars. It is arranged in alphabetical order based on Latin name. There is cross reference in the back that has common names. Useful at all the times to identify a species of plant, or a cultivar within a species. It is also quite helpful in determining what cultivars are likely to do well, and which ones have underperformed in the landscape—in the opinion of the author. The author frequently expresses his opinion, and he does so in an entertaining fashion that makes using this book fun. There are lists of what plants work well in different soil or moisture condition. Also what zone a particular plant is suited to, is completely covered. Some listing indicate air pollution tolerance as well. There is a wealth of information in this publication for woody plant professionals & enthusiasts."
