Rodale's Garden Problem Solver: Vegetables, Fruits, and Herbs
$24.95. horticulture This volume deals with frequently encountered insect and disease problems of popular vegetables, herbs, and fruits (ornamentals excluded). Information is clear, sufficient, and organized conveniently. This book is one in a long series that includes Organic Plant Protection (1976), Rodale's Color Handbook of Garden Insects (1983), and Encyclopedia of Natural Insect and Disease Control (1984). These titles differ in scope, arrangement, or nuance, but increased knowledge in the past 12 years is not such to require small-to-medium sized libraries to buy each new book. Cynthia Westcott's Gardener's Bug Book (Doubleday, 1973) and Plant Disease Handbook (Van Nostrand Reinhold, 1979. 4th ed.) are more comprehensive and scientific, with no ideological bias. David J.
