Re: my new book about horticulture plants
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.
