The art of the chrysanthemum;: Japanese techniques for creating bonsai, cascades, giants and other potted styles

The aim of this book is to reveal the techniques that enable the Japanese grower to make the Japanese chrysanthemum show the envy and despair of every American who has seen one. Furthermore, this is done in straightforward English rather than in the strange and difficult idiom often found in books from abroad. A special feature of the book, to which over a third of the text is devoted, is the intricate and peculiarly Japanese art of the bonsai chrysanthemum. (by KADADDLES booksellers)
