"The Grafter's Handbook", R.J. Garner, Published in association with The
Royal Horticultural Society, Cassell, London, ISBN: 0-304-32172-9

"A classic text which has stood pre-eminent for 40 years." -Philip
McMillan Browse, Director of the Royal Horticultural Society's Gardens
at Wisley.

The Grafter's Hanbook, long established as *the* encyclopedia of plant
propagation by grafting, is updated once again in this new fifth
edition. Everything the dedicated amateur, the student, and the
professional horticulturist wants to know about grafting is to be found
in this book, clearly written in a concise and straightforward style,
the distillation of a lifetime's careful study and research. The
author's line drawings are complemented by well chosen photographs, and
a new Appendix on micrografting by Dr. O.P. Jones of the East Malling
Research Station completes the book.

R.J. Garner was for many years based at the East Malling Research
Station in Kent. His contribution to the knowledge, development and
teaching of grafting techniques over the period cannot be overestimated.
He long ago became *the* authority on his subject. The first and
subsequent editions of The Grafter's Handbook have been an indispensable
reference for gardeners and horticulturalists around the world for forty
years.

In the US, I got a new copy for about $20 from Sterling Publishing
Company, 900 Magnolia Avenue, Elizabeth, New Jersey, 07201. I don't have
a phone number for them, try directory assistance.
