The main part of the book is the Plant Catalogue in which plants are arranged by type then by size season of interest and finally colour. Colour-coded margins and revised headings make access to plants easier than ever. The Plant Dictionary gives a guide to more than 8 000 plants. This section acts not only as an index to the plants in the Plant Catalogue but also provides descriptions and cultivation information on thousands more.
