This is gardening with Allen Armitage Hosta CD ROM
I was diapointed with the CD.There was to much show and not enough coverage of the Hostas. I feel I wasted my money. I can go to the Hosta Library on line and see a greater selection of Hosta. Also you can print pictures from the Hosta library. I wish I didnt buy this CD.

Really Fun CD!
Wow! I had no idea there were so many hostas in the world. I really enjoyed learning about the different varieties, sizes and colors. The absolute best thing about this CD, though, is Allan's wit and natural presentation style. Highly recommend this CD. Great gift item!
