This authoritative and beautifully illustrated account provides a unique source of reference for all practitioners involved in the recognition, biology, and control of the pests of ornamental crops.

The bulk of the book is devoted to the various pests. Each major order and family is considered in turn, accompanied by detailed descriptions and photographs to aid in identification. Entries also include the life history of the pest, and explain the kind of damage caused to the infested plant and the severity of the plant’s reaction ---not all pests require removal action. The author recommends appropriate control measures, including environmentally conscious methods such as hand-picking and elimination of insect hiding places, as well as certain pesticide and chemical controls. This reference will prove indispensible to a wide range of readers. Entomologists, horticulturalists, pest control specialists, integrated pest management (IPM) practitioners, growers, students, and teachers will all find this to be a thorough and comprehensive text.

Trees are natural focal points of any landscape --- living structural elements. They inspire an appreciation of nature as well as providing food and shelter for wildlife. For all these reasons, the choice of a tree for your landscape should be carefully considered. Many common native trees are just as beautiful as cultivated exotics. Since they have evolved with local conditions and are well adapted to their climate, soil, and pests and diseases, native trees often require less maintenance than exotics and won't escape to invade a balanced ecosystem. The authors have spent their lives studying native trees and their environments. Their extensive knowledge is distilled in this comprehensive cross section of trees native to North America, from the Atlantic to the Rockies and from the treeless tundra of northern Canada to the Gulf Coast. They explain how to choose trees appropriate to a particular area, whether by planting new specimens or preserving those already on site. The main section of the book is divided into tree profiles, each describing flowers and fruit, native and adaptive range, culture, and problems. The authors also list the best seasonal features --- whether a tree has striking bark in winter, for example, or bright fruit in fall. In all, more than 650 species and varieties, and more than 500 cultivars, are discussed. Packed with stunning color photos, this fresh, inspired look at native trees is sure to be read cover to cover by gardeners and woods walkers alike.
