A classic of floriculture, this is the most comprehensive book every published on geraniums, or pelargoniums--covering all kinds, from the best-known favorites to rare geraniums for collectors, and discussion every aspect of growing and caring for them in all parts of the country. To prepare this much enlarged version of her previous book, GERANIUMS--PELARGONIUMS, Helen Van Pelt Wilson spent two years updating and rewriting the entire book form cover to cover, adding half again as much wholly new text and illustration. Besides being the only complete book available on geraniums, THE JOY OF GERANIUMS is also a notably readable one, based on Mrs. Wilson's long personal experience as well as extensive research and correspondence with other experts in this country and abroad. Descriptions of 393 species, varieties, and hybrids are given in the "Finder's List," and there is a wealth of outstanding illustrations: 37 photos and 37 pages of drawings.
