Product information : Nursery manager and propagator at the Garden in the Woods of the New England Wild Flower Society, Cullina has written a companion to his excellent The New England Wild Flower Society Guide to Growing and Propagating Wildflowers of the United States and Canada. Here he covers trees, shrubs, and vines native to temperate North America. A brief introduction covering general cultural information and how to use the book is followed by the "Encyclopedia of Plants," arranged alphabetically by genus, then species. Each genus entry introduces the genus and includes culture, uses, attraction to wildlife, and propagation methods. The following species entries contain USDA hardiness zones, soil type, native region, size, and flower season and color, ending with a descriptive paragraph. Color photographs complement the text. The final section explains propagation methods in general, then gives detailed information, by genus, on the best way to propagate each. Appendixes include plants for specific sites/uses, native alternatives to potentially invasive exotic species, sources of native plants (nursery propagated), native plant societies, and botanical gardens/arboreta featuring native plants. Cullina's writing is a pleasure to read beautifully descriptive, informative, and personal. His useful, authoritative work is highly recommended for North American libraries.
