The A-Z Plant Health Handbook for New Zealand,
   by Jon Muller.

Written especially for New Zealand conditions, this useful handbook will help to keep your plants in tip-top condition. It covers over 100 common ornamental species, as well as lawns, bulbs, succulents, citrus, conifers, ferns, orchids and palm trees. More often than not, problems arise when plants are not growing in the right conditions, so a brief description of these conditions is given for each plant followed by the symptoms of common plant problems, their causes and organic and conventional solutions. Whenever one of your prized garden specimens isn't looking its best, reach for this handy reference.
