For more than a decade, gardeners have been turning to a beautiful little
hardcover book called Gardener's Latin, by Bill Neal. Neal understood that as
Latin terms began appearing with increasing frequency on nursery tags and
gardening catalogs, gardeners would need help. So he weeded through the Latin
words that describe and distinguish among plants and flowers and compiled a
volume of select, brief, clear definitions.

Gardener's Latin leads us down the path from abbreviatus to zonatus, turning
aside here and there along the way for little-known horticultural facts and
fables and the wisdom of

gardeners from Virgil to Vita Sackville-West.<
