Re: European Horticultural zones

**G* R* <g*@tiscali.co.uk>**

In part to help educate British gardeners on the USDA system, and to 
help in a small way establish it as an international system, I used 
the USDA hardiness zone ratings in the British edition of my recent 
Encyclopedia of Perennials. There is a European hardiness zone map on 
the front endpapers and a worldwide map on the back endpapers. (The 
US edition has a US zone map and a heat zone map). The coldest area 
in France and Spain is the high Pyrenees, zone 6.

The map was produced by the mapping department at the publishers.

and books about plants at http://www.transatlanticplantsman.com
