About This Item
John Bartholomew & Son Ltd, Edinburgh, 1973. First Edition. Hardcover (Original Cloth). Near Fine Condition/Near Fine. It is not only succulent enthusiasts who are taking up the cultivation of these colourful plants. Certain species with showy flowers have long been offered by the trade as houseplants. Many of the new hybrids have such brilliantly coloured rosettes that they are in considerable demand for house decoration. Species are very numerous and new ones are being continually introduced. The same applies to hybrids. Unfortunately many are being grown under wrong names. The authors have carefully gone into these matters and have endeavoured to include all those varieties introduced into this country up to 1971. The book is non-botanical and should serve as a useful introduction for all those interested in the cultivation of these lovely plants. Size: Octavo (standard book size). 110 pages.
