Title: Ferns for American Gardens by John T. Mickel ISBN: 0-88192-598-5 Publisher: Timber Pr Pub. Date: October, 2003 Format: Paperback Volumes: 1 List Price(USD): $24.95 |
Average Customer Rating: 5 (4 reviews)
Rating: 5
Summary: Authoritative and comprehensive
Comment: This book should never have been allowed to go out of print. It is a wonderful, well-illustrated reference and is by far the best I have found so far with regard to growing ferns outdoors. The book is comprehensive enough to satisfy the fern fancier (particularly in the listing of genera and species), but has enough basic information (particularly regarding culture and propagation) to be useful to the gardener who just wants to incorporate some ferns in his or her garden.
Rating: 5
Summary: A must for shade gardeners.
Comment: Mickel's book is a treasure for fern-lovers. The opening chapters cover technical aspects of fern biology and propagation - but only to the extent necessary to familiarize the gardener. This is not a book written for botanists. The rest of the book is a description of fern species suitable for temperate gardens of North America. The information and advice is sound and the descriptions are strewn with gorgeous color photographs.
There is some good bibliographical information in the back and some contact information that might be dated, but is useful nonetheless.
Rating: 5
Summary: This is a well written and comprehensive study of ferns.
Comment: This book has excellent photographs and drawings, and describes in great detail the may species of ferns. The beginning of the book is technical, and defines the structural differences between fern types, how to recoginize the parts of a fern, etc. Anyone interested in growing wild or nursery-grown ferns should have this book in their collection. It will allow you to identify the ferns you have, or see in the forests.
