shipping, and application of beneficial microorganisms. The last section,<br>“Problem Solving”, addresses pest management, overall nursery management,<br>and how to properly install trials to improve nursery performance. Intended<br>
for use by Native Americans, the manual is well illustrated with photos and<br>line drawings, includes many real-world examples, and would be useful to<br>anyone that is considering starting a native plant nursery, or refining<br>
