Trees and Shrubs Hardy in the British Isles: v. 1: A-C by W.J. Bean
For the Eighth Edition, every desciption has been corrected or rewritten where necessary and many entirely new ones have been included. Volume I contains a series of introductory chapters that provide a concise history of plant introductions to the British Isles, a summary of all the principle cultivation processes and an explanation of the systems of botanical nomenclature. The illustrations are entirely replanned, many taken specially for the volume.
