In India, interest in gardening has increased progressively, particularly among the ‘home gardeners’. In 14 chapters, ‘Ornamental Plants for Gardening’ documents the myriad variation available in diverse categories of ornamentals plants (annuals; roses; chrysanthemums; tuberose; bulbous plants; shrubs & climbers; cactus & succulents; hedges, edges, topiary & bonsai; and turf grass) for enhancing the attractiveness of both small and large gardens. Theoretical and practical guidance is provided about varieties; soil bed preparation; cultural practices; irrigation; fertilization; disease, pest and weed control; preservation of seeds & other forms of propagation units.

Book Description
"Ray Rowell's classic guide has been updated and extended in this new edition which now follows the successful design format of his companion books, Ornamental Flowering Trees in Australia and Ornamental Flowering Shrubs in Australia, also published by New South Wales University Press. Full colour photographs and an improved and revised layout make this book an even more superb reference." "Each plant is identified by its botanic and common names and the information provided includes accurate and precise details on identification, soils, climate and methods of propagating and managing each species." "Now in its fourth edition, Ornamental Plants in Australia is the reference work on the subject, and should form a core in the library of horticultural teachers and students, nursery men and women and serious gardeners."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.

Book Description
Excerpt from Plant Culture a Working Hand-Book of Every Day Practice for All Who Grow Flowering and Ornamental Plants in the Garden and Greenhouse In nearly all of the recent works of this nature, appearing in America, the subjects dealt with have been confined, more or less, to those plants that can be and are cultivated by commercial florists for profit, or by those who own conservatories. And while the present book includes all this class of information it has a far wider scope treating, as it does, on the care and management of a diversity of plants not touched upon by other writers, all equally necessary in the adornment of our gardens and homes and„for this purpose, as beautiful and interesting as those that generally receive the greatest attention from authors of most horticultural works. Divested of superfluous verbiage, and shorn of perplexing technicalities which tend to confuse, the cultural directions here given can be easily and successfully followed, the results contributing to the perfect enjoyment of "the purest of human pleasures," by some, and affording to others a lucrative occupation. What I have given here are teachings gleaned and sifted from the experience of many years' work as a gardener and florist. The methods described are such as have been successfully practiced by me and can be safely relied on as up-to-date and thoroughly applicable to American conditions and requirements.
