This book combines elements of the two books.;After an introduction to peony appreciation, mythology and history, this book focuses on topics concerning the cultivation of both the herbaceous and the tree peony, such as soil preparation and disease control. Information on modern hybrid varieties, mail order sources, and disease and pest updates is also included.
