No flower needed: the fern wins by form alone. Daniel Eaton's guide portrays the loveliest species, the American maidenhair, the ostrich-fern, the alpine beech-fern, and their fronded relatives, with a botanist's precision and an artist's eye. A celebration of the shade garden's quiet stars. Learn to know and grow the beautiful ferns.

Every copy includes a printable PDF edition, a beautifully typeset book you can print, mark up in the margins, and keep on your shelf. Yours the moment you own it.
