New! Botany for Gardeners - 3rd Edition
By Brian Capon

This book is a great introduction to the science of plants in terms that are easy to understand. Both concise and thorough, it explains the parts of plants, how they develop and what they do, from cells and seeds to flowers and fruits. There are also sections on genetics, nutrition, adaptation and interaction with the elements and other organisms. Many eye-catching color photographs, illustrations and tables aid each of these topics. An appendix explains the names of plants. 268 pages.
