"The Gardener Horticulture in Pakistan" by A.K. Khan, publisher 'Oxford Book Press' is commonly available in most of the bookshops.

He initially worked in the agriculture department in Kabul, Afghanistan, and then in Delhi, India. In Pakistan he served in various capacities including Director, Parks and Recreation, Government of Pakistan. His passion for horticulture induced him to establish the Horticultural Society of Pakistan in 1948. He has six books to his credit."

Well the book of Prof gillani is the 3rd one but it is comprised mostly of contents from first 2 books. Do not remember their names but both are very good for beginners. Small books. There is a book fair these days in expo center johar town, interested members can search there as well.

I had very big flora database book with pictures which is resting in the hands of a famous veteran gardener of lahore. If he reads this, he can return me.
