Hi Hank,

I have that big book, and do use it to look up plants I either can't find
anyplace else, or don't want a whole lot of info on.

 I think one of my TOP fave books, and one of the 1st I bought, is Ken
Druse's Natural Shade Garden book.  I think that is the right name.  I loaned
it to my neighbor who is now putting in a new hosta garden.  His books have
beautiful pix and in this one, he describes what to expect of plants when
they are growing in less sun than they normally are said to "like".  I also
like his "natural" views.  Very inspirational book.
