In addition, we have included several excellent books on building a tropical greenhouse or a conservancy. A conservatory, large or small, provides a welcoming and additional living space for the whole family. It brings the pleasures of the garden indoors, including extra light, color, sounds, and scent.

The following list of books were carefully selected by our research staff for nursery workers, botanists, biologists, the do-it-yourself propagator, and home gardeners. These books were selected because their text material is clearly written, easy to follow, and usually are accompanied with instructive photographs and detailed illustrations. And that if followed closely
by the reader, the reader should be able to perform the work necessary to complete a successful propagation project.
