What more could he say????

Well.... his level of detail is great, and I know that there wouldn't be much to add to certain chapters. However, I would appreciate his update to the cultivar chapter. And I'm sure there's been some other developements that he would want to comment on (e.g. HVX).

he used to drop in here every now and then ..

i THINK i recall .. that he is working on a new book .. i am not sure if its a second edition though ...

it might be entirely new in toto ...

regardless.. the historical information in the front 1/3 of the book is incredible.. and i presume skipped by a majority of those who 'read' the book ... of most interest to me was the HN and SN .. horticultural names.. and the synonym names for the species ...

e.g. blue giant ='d sieboldiana ='d elegans ... plus all the history of growing them from seed based on the improper presumption that they came true from seed ... but do note.. that is from memory .. it may have all been a dream ...
