Looking for a plant book?

Question

I used to have a plant book that was taller with 4 flip pages devided into quarters on one one page. You could look at a varity of smaller plants on the bottom section, then flip the next quarter of the page to a different plant a little taller and so on so you ened up with 4 different pages to look at one one page. I loved this book but loaned it out and haven't seen it for years. I would love to replace it, anyone seen anything like this or have any ideas where I could find such a thing. I could have sworn it was called The Gardeners Palette but when I look that up its not even close to the book I remember. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Answer 2

It's possible you had an earlier version of the Gardeners Palette. You could try a used bookstore. Most have a huge gardening section.

Abe's has some copies of an old one but no pics. http://www.abebooks.com/servlet/SearchResults?&isbn=0385233574&nsa=1

Answer 3

I personally use Wyman's Garden Ency. as a reference point for research. There is a new email address for additional info throught the internet (it is at my office). This book is about $60 at Border's, however, it contains references and cross references to every plant, in every region, for the US and England. Good Luck.

Answer 4

Try and remember where you purchased it, hopefully they still might sell it. Do you remember who you lent it to? I hate it when people dont give things back, i think its stealing, Sorry I wasnt much help. I hope you find the book your after! Good Luck!
