"This book by two acknowledged experts in Australian botany and horticulture tells you exactly what to do - and what not to do.  The sections of the book include comprehensive advice on soils, hints on plant establishment, and many ideas on how to make the best selection for your needs.
An important part of the book is the lengthy and fully-descriptive listing of a large variety of Australian trees and shrubs.  This gives their common and botanic names, their natural habitats, their appearance, flowering habits, sizes, and the conditions of soil and climate under which they may be raised."
