Books and Items for Rhody and Azalea Gardeners

Posted by rhodyman z6 PA (My Page) on

This is a shameless plug for a website where all commissions benefit the American Rhododendron Society Research Foundation and the Rhododendron Species Foundation. It is Henning's Rhododendron & Azalea Book Store at http://rhodyman.net/rhodybooks.html

Sales were getting slow, so I added sections on Garden Books and Items For Gardeners.

The new garden books sections include: Maples, Conifers, Perennials, Shrubs, and General Gardening.

The new items for gardeners sections include: Pruners, Saws, Shovels, Forks, Trowels, Weeders, Cultivators, Deer Protection, Fertilizers and Sprays, Protection and Safety, Goodies for the Gardener, and Gifts for the Gardener.

Actually, once you are in the Book Store, 5% to 15% of any Amazon.com purchase goes to benefit the ARS Research Foundation or the Species Foundation.

Thank you,

Steve Henning

Steve,
I would very much like to add a few really good books about Rhodos to my collection. In your opinion, would you list the the best 5 books you would recommend. Thanks for the book list!

RE: Books and Items for Rhody and Azalea Gardeners

The answer will be different for every gardener.

For me, I want books which list just about every variety and species. My list includes:

1) Rhododendrons and Azaleas: A Colour Guide by Kenneth Cox, 2005 [The most varieties listed]

2) Azaleas by Fred C. Galle 1988 [The bible on azaleas]

3) Encyclopedia of Rhododendron Species by Peter A. Cox, Kenneth N.E. Cox (2001) [most complete book on species]

4) Greer's Guidebook to Available Rhododendrons by Harold E. Greer 1996 [great reference for American gardeners]

5) Rhododendrons and Azaleas by Bowers 1960 [an old but well written book]
