I like "The American Horticulture Society Plant Propagation", and Ken Druse's "Making More Plants". Both are affordable, well illustrated, and well written. Easy to understand.

Both books mentioned are fine. If you want something more basic and for less money look for "Secrets of Plant Propagation" by Lewis Hill, a Garden Way publication for about $12 to $15. Al

The classic Hartmann and Kester's Plant Propagation: Principles and Practices cost about $100 and I would not recommend buying it but old editions can be found at many libraries. Old editions are about as good as newer editions unless you are a collage student.

If you want to get into test tube propagation Went, F. THE EXPERIMENTAL CONTROL OF PLANT GROWTH is a good place to start. Again, I wouldn't suggest buying it. I am not even sure it is for sale anymore.

i second "The American Horticulture Society Plant Propagation" alan toogood - lot's of information with pics

i bought both that little_dani mentioned but i think toogood's book (i got for $23) is much easier to glance at and understand than druse's book (i got for $32)

This is a good book.
