1.0 out of 5 stars
Consistently Wrong page after page,
By KENT C BREWER (WAXAHACHIE, TX United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Neil Sperry's Complete Guide to Texas Gardening (Hardcover)
For years, Mr. Sperry's advice has been taken as the absolute truth by his radio listeners. Folks, there are much better sources for gardening information out there. Chemical toxins and synthetics are not the answer for everything going on in your yard. In fact, they are much more the problem than the solution. MSMA is a particular Sperry favorite, fine if you accept the "Arsenic" as a good weed-killer. He also recommends spraying weeds with 2, 4-D. This will kill your trees! A commonsense, natural approach is now becoming the "norm" these days. Author Howard Garrett is a much better choice for your gardening library.

Comprehensive, beautifully illustrated, but not easy to use,

This review is from: Neil Sperry's Complete Guide to Texas Gardening (Hardcover)
This is my second favorite gardening book. It is very comprehensive with over 400 plant listings. It has descriptive listings of the different varieties of each species. The photographs are informative and beautifully shot.I am mot awarding 5 stars for the following reasons. Important information such as water needs is missing. The other information is poorly organized and forces you to read through a large description to find it. The chapter divisions are not usably organized. For example Dale Grooms Texas Gardening Guide has chapters on Annuals, another on Bulbs, Corms, Rhizomes, and Tubers, another on Native Wildflowers, another on Perennials, and a separate chapter on Roses. Dale Groom also has icons identifying Sun Preference and whether it is Drought Resistant. This is much easier to use. Well worth having in your library, but because it is not easy to use, it will probably not be the first book you reach for.
