The Guide to Buying Plants from The Gardener's Catalogue Series, Tom Riker, 1976

The Guide to Buying Plants from The Gardener's Catalogue Series by Tom Riker.

Published in 1976 by William Morrow & Company, The Guide to Buying Plants features horticulturist, botanical art specialist, and garden center owner Tom Riker who "finally tells all" with trade secrets to buying any type of plant, from the hardiest outdoor varieties to the most delicate houseplant.

One of several books in The Gardener's Catalogue series, Riker's professional advice and beautiful illustrations, filling 256 pages in a hardcover edition, are as valuable today as they were in the 1970s.  

The Guide to Buying Plants is the "single reference no gardener can afford to live without."
