Hartmann & Kester's Plant Propagation: Principles and Practices (8th Edition) by Hudson T. Hartmann Deceased (Author), Dale E. Kester Deceased (Author), Fred T. Davies (Author), Robert Geneve (Author).
The world standard for plant propagation and horticulture for over 50 years, Hartmann and Kester’s Plant Propagation continues to be the field’s most complete, up-to-date text on plant propagation. It now contains color figures throughout, promoting learning and making it an even more useful working text and reference. It also contains extensive updates reflecting the latest commercial techniques and understanding of propagation biology. Like previous editions, it is organized into paired chapters on principles and practices, so it can easily be adapted for teaching courses that cover only practical topics, and for courses that also cover conceptual issues.
I have no complaints about my purchase. Everything was great, the shipping was quick, the book I ordered was correct and I will be back for any future book purchases.
I have had a lot of use out of this book but since it is mostly a textbook it can be very boring when you read it. It does not have a ton of informaiton about specific plants that you can propagate, but it does detail the science behind it.
The book is still the gold standard for propagation; an excellent reference and working guide.
The only concern is the durability of the book itself the cover isn't as tough as I would like - getting a good quality plastic sleeve on it would be good.
The Hartmann & Kester's Plant Propagation: Principles and Practices (8th Edition) came fast and was in really good condition. It was a lot cheaper than buying it from the college book store!
