Hardy Rhododendron Species	Cullen, James	This 495 page book is a monument to a single group of plants. The Rhododendrons including those referred to as Azaleas are found in both the old and new worlds. This book contains descriptions of over 360 species. Color images are sparingly included for some of the better known species. Although there are over 700-800 full species of trees and shrubs in this genus, this book concentrates on those that are in cultivation.
