"John Greenlee has presented American gardeners with a fine gift-- a comprehensive book on the ornamental grasses that have become so deservedly popular in recent years and that promise to keep adding new interest to our gardens well into the next century. The Encyclopedia of Ornamental Grasses is eminently practical, filled with solid cultural information, not only about familiar and common sorts of ornamental grasses, but also about new or rare ones that deserve much attention, such as Catlin sedge (Carex texensis). This is a wonderfully useful reference book, but it is also lively and readable. John Greenlee is passionate about ornamental grasses and his open delight shines forth on every page."--Allen Lacy, Author of The Garden in Autumn "The Encyclopedia of Ornamental Grasses belongs on every serious gardener's bookshelf.
