I,ve tried to propagate plants by cuttings for two years now; all without any success. This book has all the answers to questions I've had and has shown where I've made mistakes. This is the "Bible" of plant propagation...

American Horticultural Society Plant Propagation: The Fully Illustrated Plant-by-Plant Manual of Practical Techniques	Customer Rating:
This book is so easy to use and has very detailed directions! Great book for a beginner and an expert!

Disappointing	Customer Rating:
Ok for basics but not specific for the varieties of plants for propagation. If you want to learn about root cuttings and division it's good, but don't expect much detail when it comes to specific plants, ie; when to take cuttings or when to divide certain plants for particular varieties. Very basic.

Best Propagation Book I've Found

Customer Rating:

As a Texas Master Gardener, I bought the book to deepen my knowledge of plant propagation, especially out-of-patent roses. This book has excellent pictures of techniques for alternative propagation methodologies and a extremely wide treatment of many species. I cannot imagine anyone who would need any other book. I've read five other propagation books but this book has it all, written in well thought out descriptions and illustrated with great pictures. Highly recommended!!!
