Of particular value are the explanations of timing and techniques for pruning deciduous ornamental bushes." --"Detroit"" News and Free Press" "The author is an accomplished horticulturist and garden writer, and he melds these two talents to achieve a book that is both informative and easy to read...This book should be in the library of all serious gardeners and landscape maintainers."--"HortScience"
