This book was purchased for a reference library. It covers a broad range of plants that will grow in Florida. There are a number of errors in the book and photos mislabeled, especially in the section on palms. This causes me to doubt the credibility of other information and plant names in the photos. I hope that the publisher will come out with a revised edition because this has the makings of a good referernce book if all the information was accurate.

This is Don Hastings second book about trees.Little new ground is covered in his second book.Hastings offers little to no information on newer cultivars that have been produced since his last book on trees.He also reuses some of the photographs from his first book.His first book is much better and also covers shrubs, roses, and lawns.A more detailed look on specific pests ,plant diseases,and their controls would have benefited the book also.

I bought this book because I thought it would contain some information specific to Virginia. In fact, there was only one short chapter devoted to the Commonwealth including USDA zone maps. The rest was a standard discussion of every fruit and vegetable grown in the US. Some of the vegetables discussed aren't even suitable for cultivation in VA!

This is a beautifully bound book published by the WH Wolfe Associates in 1993 sponsored by the Genealogical Society of Henry and Clayton Counties, Georgia. The introduction of the book contains a brief history of Henry County from the creation of the County in 1821 to the twentieth century. The genealogical information in the book was contributed by descendants of "the first families." There is no documentation to valuate the data therefore the serious researcher must use the book with apprehension.

Any protagonist who is stupid enough to put up with what Kate Mulcay does in this book deserves the results. She doesn't make sure the relatives are actually related; she keeps being devestated by their well meaning but dreadful attempts to help around the house; but never so much as suggests that they check with her before doing things. She gives them cash to spend even when she knows that it goes for liquor instead of food, and then she hands over a credit card and doesn't require it back. When handed the perfect excuse that it's "mislaid", she neither demands nor cancels it. Besides that, I figured out the perpetrators of the murder before it even happened. I would not have finished up the book if I hadn't been hard up for reading material. The one positive point for this book is that the author has a reasonably decent writing style.
