The questions and answers are divided into ten sections, each covering a specific aspect of gardening.
Another unique feature of 10,000 Garden Questions is the series of Introductions to the ten sections. Each was written especially for this book by an outstanding authority in the specialty covered. Each one presents, in condensed but comprehensive form, the basic information concerning the subject covered, and thus multiplies for the reader the value of the questions and answers which follow.
Each of the ten sections contains an average of 60,000 words - as much as a complete, good-sized book. 10,000 Garden Questions is like a ten-volume set of the most practical kind of garden information packed into two handy reference manuals. The exceptionally complete index makes it possible to locate at once the information desired on any specific problem - thus placing this vast store of garden lore at the reader's finger tips for quick-action reference.
The text throughout is generously supplemented by line drawings done especially to show what or how. They assist greatly in helping the reader to grasp the full details of the answer to his question.
