All will learn new information and be taught skills for improving selecting, growing, propagating, hybridizing and showing rhododendrons and azaleas. -- Frank Bryan Azalea Society of America 20041110 This informative, well-written book kept me turning pages and making notes on the blank pages conveniently provided at the back with an ongoing sense of not being able to imagine what could possibly be around the "next corner"!
