A lot of new developments in the plant propagation has taken place after 1968. So this book is obsolete and that is why they are selling it for 4 dollars in a country like USA where books are so expensive.

However, this is a classic and the best book ever published in the field of propagation. I have been using it as a student as well as a university teacher during my working career. There is no doubt about its utility.

But I shall still advise that if you want to buy it, buy the most current edition.

Thanks for the recommendation, Murph. My cheap used copy just came from an
Amazon seller and I look forward to digging into it.

There is a book titled, "Plant Propagation, Principles and Practices" by
Hudson Hartmann and Dale Kester.
I have the second edition, hardbound, printed in 1968.
For the 'initiate' such as myself, it was a gold mine.
Theory for the science-minded, methods for the practical.
Seeds, cuttings, grafting, layering, and good diagrams. 700 pages.

My book cost $4.00 used, on Alibris.com, and I refer to it all the time.
