Annuals for Connoisseurs by Wayne Winterrowd (1992)

This is one of the first serious books on annuals of recent times and by a well known and knowledgeable plantsman and much admired writer. Structured as an A-Z of plants, rather than reducing the information to a few crisp bullet points each entry is a discursive blend of recommendations of varieties, interesting background and practical advice.

There is a substantial and wise practical section, obviously derived from the author's own experience of raising and growing the plants, and he clearly understands the difference between gardening in his home state of Vermont compared with balmier climates. And although written for the American gardener British readers will also find much to appreciate.

The presentation is straightforward rather than slick, the pictures a little variable in quality, although many unusual plants are illustrated, but the author's love of good writing is clear in his own.
