The Hosta Book by Paul Aden (1988, Book, Illustrated)

Some of the nomenclature has been changed, this mean some of the information is just wrong. It presents different perspectives on different topic to some degree. It is a quick reference but it all has to be back up my George Schmid. He does a good job as to usage in the field, and pot culture. The book may be usurped by M. Zilis new hosta book, we will have to wait and see, at least George is still around to keep him straight. What would I do if someone took this book away form me, needless to say, I would get it back and if it came with an arm attached all the better. Currently this book is in the number two spot on the topic. Fist comes The Genus Hosta,(out of print) you can read some of it at the http://www.hostalibrary.org/, then Paul's books ranks number two and it is an old book, and in number three is the Encyclopedia of Hostas, or just go to http://www.hostalibrary.org/. The quintessential hosta reference is the The Hosta Journal, no one disputes that.
