PREFACE

Scope

The following is a selected bibliography of works which deal with orrelate to desert plants and their cu.ltivation. Most of the workslisted have been selected with the beginning "desert gardener" in mind.However, although our aim is to acquaint the novice desert gardenerwith works of potential interest to him, a nUlllber of works are includedwhich shou.ld serve well those who may wish to expand their interest inthe field.

The majority of works listed desl with the flora of the Southwesterndesert regions of the United States. All are in English, and most areheld by the Library of the New York Botanical Garden.

,,,for the maJority of works listed we have attempted to describe a numberof essential features. Included among these are:

1) scope2) major features3) level of presentation~) quality of presentation5) noteworthy features

In addition, for those works which deal with the cultivation of theflora (Section II), we have noted the coverage of each with regard tothe growing conditions under Which it discusses a plant's cultivation.However, for several works the reader will find no annotation. Vhilesuch works have not been exaroined, information from reliable sourcesindicate that they are highly relevant to this compilation.
