5.0 out of 5 starsBest book on plant propagation
By Tom Krischan on January 28, 2000
Format: Hardcover
Book contains 46 pages on introductory propagation methods, followed by very spe
cific information on propagating these plant types: 44 pages on trees, 54 pages
on shrubs, 64 pages on perennials, 16 pages on annuals, 20 pages on cacti, 28 pa
ges on bulbs, and 28 pages on vegetables and herbs. In the back are a glossary,
an index, and north america hardiness map. Very complete.
If you can grow it, the instructions are listed in this book.
Book contains hundreds of small, but helpful photographs that demonstrate a proc
ess or identify some plant anatomy.
Solid information, well worth the money!

5.0 out of 5 starsHoly Cow!
By April Linville on July 31, 2001
Format: Hardcover Verified Purchase
I bought this book for my husband, but I use it more than he does! This is one o
f the best plant books I have ever seen. The techniques are easy to understand a
nd follow, the pictures are outstanding, and there are TONS of plants listed! Th
is book will take you through the history of plant propagation, genetic ins and
outs, and the techniques that you can use in your own garden. If you have a gard
en full of veggies, or a yard with trees, shrubs, and rose bushes, this book rea
lly is a must for you!

5.0 out of 5 starsThis book delivers no-nonsense propagation wisdom!
By Jenni Otto (kenotto@tusco.net) on June 25, 1999
Format: Hardcover
This book is a must for anyone interested in the propagation of just about any b
otanical-from herbs to vegetables to exotics. As an avid seed collector and gard
ener, this book has been indespensable and reigns as king of my botanical librar
y!! Ideal for the professional and lay person, this book explodes with beautiful
photographs. Even the half-hearted gardener will dream of seed starting after s
tudying this tome. The only thing I found missing was a chart for seed identific
ation-but overall, this book was superb!! Kudos to the American Horticultural so
ciety for such much-needed knowledge! Even Sir Joseph Banks would be proud of th
is one!!

5.0 out of 5 starsAbsolutely Excell...ah..nnnnt!
By rosa@rosasbeautybar.com on July 16, 1999
Format: Hardcover
As a professional horticulturalist, gosh what a word, I spotted this delightful
book in the Beaufort Public Library, kept it out too long because I did not want
to take it back and it cost me a 75 cent fine...such a deal. Now I MUST buy my
own, even though my birthday is less than a month away. It makes propagation a b
reeze. And what great graphics and photos. I'll be out gathering palmetto seeds
soon. Ever wonder what to do with a sago palm seed? You won't believe what they
need to sprout. Now I know why the plant is so expensive to buy. With this book
you have the knowledge to start just about any plant you can think of.

5.0 out of 5 starsThe mysteries of propagation have finally come together...
By SueP on March 23, 2004
Format: Hardcover
I was in search of a good informative book for seed starting and stumbled upon t
his one. What a find!!! They give detailed instructions for hundreds of plants (
including hardy and tropicals) defining exactly what propagating technique(s) wo
rks best for each. Softwood cuttings, hardwood cuttings, dividing, grafting (far
more methods than I have ever seen in one book) and the various methods of gath
ering and seed-starting, whether your species prefers cold-stratifying, soaking,
scarification or if it prefers to be direct-sown. This book has techniques for
reproducing just one or hundreds of plants. I could go on and on but it all boil
s down to this; If you have any interest in multiplying plants this book is a mu
st!

5.0 out of 5 starsThe National Home Gardening Edition is the same book as the DK
edition for at least half the price!
By Richard Frost on January 15, 2007
Format: Hardcover
The previous printing of this book has a green background with 4 photos. The cur
rent printing has a cover similar to the "DK Books" edition sold in many nationa
l bookstores for quite a bit more money. Inside the cover, the books are identic
al.
The first 47 pages of this book are indispensible (a must read) unless you have
mastered both sophomore and junior level (college) courses in plant propagation.
These pages are an invaluable guide to gardeners everywhere. Discussed are the
general forms of propagation, methods used, etc.
Following (pages 48 through 309) are 7 sections on thematic kinds of plants: Tre
es, Shrubs/Climbers, Perennials, Annuals/Biennials, Cacti/Succulents, Bulbous Pl
ants, Vegetables. Each of these sections contains information on specific method
s applicable to these types, and an "A through Z" guide to common Families or Ge
nus (e.g., Guara) in that category, plus specific propagation methods (where app
licable) to particular species.

The book rivals any collegic textbook I have seen, with the exception of books o
n the propagation of specific types of plants. Further, I believe this book is t
he best primer on propagation for the gardener, especially prior to reading a bo
ok on the propagation of plants with particular, exotic needs.

5.0 out of 5 starsDO NOT BUY THIS BOOK FROM THIS PUBLISHER_BUY SAME BOOK FROM NH
GC FOR 5 BUCKS!
By Heather Anderson on May 25, 2007
Format: Hardcover
This book is amazing but I strongly recommend that you buy Alan Toogood's "Plant
Propagation" from a different publisher. The National Home and Gardening Club p
ublished this exact same book (with a different hardback cover) the same year th
e AHSociety published the above book. This book is currently selling on Amazon f
or just under $5 and is a much better buy.
Note: Amazon does not have a photo for Toogood's other book and most people prob
ably overlook that and purchase the above text.

4.0 out of 5 starsExcellent book overall
By Lisa Pecunia on August 19, 2003
Format: Hardcover Verified Purchase
Being new to propagation, I have found this book extremely useful and have succe
ssfully tried some of the techniques. My only complaint is that the book does no
t go into further details about how to care for the young, newly rooted plants.
For example, how do I overwinter a newly rooted hydrangea? How long after it's r
ooted in the rooting medium can I safely transplant it? What do the terms "grow
on" and "grow under cover" really mean? The book assumes you know little details
like this already.
But really, considering the breadth of information the book is trying to cover,
I'd say it does a good job of it. It is clear and easy to understand and the ins
tructions are easy to follow. And, yes, it really does list every single kind of
plant. I haven't looked one up yet that I couldn't find in this book!
