Postharvest Handling of Cut Flowers and Greens

The ASCFG announces the publication of an original book, and the reprint of another popular volume. Both are of interest to commercial growers, florists, nursery people, botanical gardens and arboreta, extension educators, researchers, and instructors.

Postharvest Handling of Cut Flowers and Greens
The collaborative effort behind this book has produced a critical resource for commercial cut flower growers, retail and wholesale florists, and designers. Detailed information on harvesting and processing, ethylene control and postharvest testing, and forcing woody cuts is presented. Have postharvest questions about the flowers you grow or sell? More than 200 genera are covered in a clear and easy-to-use layout, including annuals, perennials, bulbs, and woody plants, as well as a wide range of foliage and tropical species.

Woody Cut Stems - the reprint
This reference had been out of print for several years, so the ASCFG brought it back. If you're growing shrubs or trees or cut flowers, or if you're considering adding them to your production line, this textbook is essential. Lane Greer and John Dole know what kind of information growers need, and they deliver it, in their own inimitable style.
