"Cacti and Other Succulents," "Bulbous Plants," and "Vegetables."
Each section begins with an overview of appropriate propagation techniques: the many styles of grafting, seed saving,
taking cuttings, and bulb and root division. Individual plants within each section are addressed alphabetically.
About 1,500 entries are organized alphabetically within each plant group, telling which method to use, when to do it, and
what degree of skill is required; which seeds need special treatment before sowing and how to provide the conditions to
bring about a good rate of germination; the average success rate for each plant, how big a yield to expect, and how long
it should take to mature or flower; and how to take appropriate care. Illustrations are detailed and accurate.
