| While it does not go into a lot of great detail on things, I really like the Reader's Digest New Illustrated Guide to Gardening (Hardcover) and reference it a lot throughout the gardening season. In looking at the Index under Irises, it covers
bearded
beardless
breeding hybrids
bulbous types
classifications
cutting stems
dividing
feeding and watering
flowering periods
mulching
planting and soil
problems
rhizomatous types
rock plants
seed pod removal
staking
in water gardens
borers
soft rot This book has got it all, though like I said, it doesn't go into a lot of great details, but gives the good basics on about everything...annuals, perennials, shrubs, vines, lawn, trees, fruits and veggies, trees, roses, bulbs, plant disorders, weeds, beneficial insects, etc. Sue |
