Product Description
From Booklist
Whether driven by economic incentive or the tinker's need to dabble in creation, propagating garden plants can satisfy a number of goals, yet with its implied message of a prerequisite knowledge of even the most rudimentary botany, it remains cloaked in the mystique of the unattainable. Writing for the average home gardener, who might not know an "aerial root" from a "stolon," Bryant dispels these myths with a practical and straightforward approach. In a comprehensive guide that outlines both basic and advanced techniques, materials, and tools, Bryant presents a wealth of information in a variety of formats. Easily accessible, alphabetically arranged tables show at a glance crucial information on general and specific propagation methods and germination requirements for more than 1,000 annuals, perennials, trees, and shrubs, while a photographic compendium gives a concise overview of techniques best suited for the most popular garden ornamentals. From abelia to zinnia, from seed sowing to root cutting, Bryant's guide provides an essential and encyclopedic resource for the fiscally minded, or just creatively curious, gardener. Carol Haggas

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Plant Propagation A to Z: Growing Plants for Free (Paperback)
I love this book. Beautiful color photos of propagation. We use this in our class for Master Gardeners for reference. I like the way it has seperate lists for cuttings and division and seed germination. This makes it for fast look up. I bought one for home use too. The reference part tells season to do propagation,strike time or germination time and temp. All around good reference guide.

THE only book you'll need on propagation,
By Kerry L. Kirk "Kerry" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Plant Propagation A to Z: Growing Plants for Free (Paperback)
Filled with lots of photos and charts. Very thorough listings broken down by propagation category (seed, cutting, division etc) and genus listing best time, requirements, time required etc. I've been a plantaholic for about 25 years and was amazed at how much the book had to offer. With all of the photos, charts and descriptions it should be detailed enough for the beginner too.

Basics of Plant Propagation,
By Sanders "Hobby Gardener and Woodworker" - Published on Amazon.com
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Plant Propagation A to Z: Growing Plants for Free (Paperback)
I previewed 5 books on plant propagation from our local library prior to purchasing "Plant Propagation A to Z". This book may not be the best for those very knowledgeable in plant propagation but it is a great resource book for anyone with less than expert knowledge. It does cover most of the ways that a person can propagate plants and contains the information you need to start or divide plants. My personal interest is in starting seeds in a small greenhouse. I purchased it only a few weeks ago and have already used it many times.
