Overview
Have you ever wondered how to pronounce those mysterious Latin names of the beautiful plants you see down your local Garden Centre? Do you want to impress your friends with your horticultural Latin? Then maybe this is the book for you? Arranged in an A-Z dictionary format this is a small pocket sized book to help you pronounce the Latin names of many common garden plants. It makes this achievable by breaking down the Latin names into easily pronounceable sections. Once you have mastered a few Latin names it becomes much easier to master the rest. There are no pretty pictures in the book and everything is in black and white. The text is very small so it can be hard to read, even with reasonable eyesight, which is a shame but it is a consequence of fitting so many plant names into a small book. If you are looking at buying this make sure you purchase the up to date 3rd edition.
