description: Do you like your plants proceris (tall or long) or pumili (dwarf; low-growing; small)? Phoenicolasii (with purple hair) or pyriformes (shaped like a pear)?Does your vegetable garden favor esculenti (tasty; edible) plants, rather than emetici (vomit-causing) ones?Do you keep urticoides (nettle-like) plants out of the schoolyard garden, but tender the learning patch with anacanthi (thornless) seedlings?So don't plant a zibethinus (foul-smelling) or tragophyllus (having leaves with a goat-like odor) plant under your windowsill. Refer to this helpful, clear, and clever volume and all your gardening ventures will be simply mirabile (marvelous; astonishing).
