Review:

This book is yet another in a long line of fine gardening books from Timber Press which combine useful cultural information with sufficient taxonomic detail to give the book a wide audience. The information which has a more formal orientation is written in a style which should be accessible to gardeners and botanists alike. This is a thorough treatment of the genus for the serious gardener. The wide experience of both authors with the plants is evident throughout. A comprehensive guide to the bellflowers available in cultivation, written for the gardener. -- Ann Milovsoroff "Pappus" (06/01/1999) Colour photographs accompanying the lively text could make a person weep with desire. -- Helen Chesnut "Vancouver Province" (11/28/1999) The beautiful photographs will make readers want to grow at least a few of these plants, whether their garden is large or small. -- Marty Figley "Michigan Observer and Eccentric" (05/27/1999) Most of this book is taken up with the tlants, listed by species, many with numerous named varieties. Some of the colour photographs accompanying the lively text make a person weep with desire. The colour illustrations will, no doubt, cause palpitations among gardeners who have the collectors bug, and also among those keen on alpine plants and plants that are a challenge to grow. -- Trevor Nottle "Australian Garden History" (01/01/1999) " This is a thorough treatment of the genus for the serious gardener." -- Wisley Bookshop, Spring 2002 " A comprehensive guide to the bellflowers available in cultivation, written for the gardener." -- Ann Milovsoroff, Pappus, Spring 1999 " Colour photographs accompanying the lively text could make a person weep with desire." -- Helen Chesnut, Vancouver Province, November 28, 1999 "This is a thorough treatment of the genus for the serious gardener."--Wisley Bookshop, Spring 2002 "Colour photographs accompanying the lively text could make a person weep with desire."--Helen Chesnut, Vancouver Province, November 28, 1999--Helen Chesnut "Vancouver Province " "A comprehensive guide to the bellflowers available in cultivation, written for the gardener."--Ann Milovsoroff, Pappus, Spring 1999--Ann Milovsoroff "Pappus "
