Growing Australian Plants by Holliday, Ivan & Lothian, Noel - 1964

Rigby, Adelaide, 1964. First Edition. Hardcover. Very Good Condition/Very Good. 400 g; 166 128 pages, illustrated throughout with quarter page colour photographs and half page colour photographs, index of botanical names and index of common names, in original hardcover binding with a colour illustrated dust jacket. The only damage to the book is some offset tanning of the title page where a newspaper clipping had been inserted. This book by two acknowledged experts of Australian botany and horticulture tells you exactly what to do -- and what not to do. Sections of the book include comprehensive advice on soils, hints on plant establishment, and many ideas on how to make the best selection field needs, and because the condition of soil and climate under which they may be raised is given, choosing drought tolerant, all low maintenance plants is not difficult. .
