--- I'm looking for a rather inexpensive horticultural database listing. What I really want is something with a rather complete list of plants and their characteristics and propogation methodes. I want to be able to search for names by specific characterisstics that I want to use in plant specification as a landscape designer. I would like something for either the IBM or something on-line I can log onto for not too much money. If you know of anything or even where to look, I 'd love your help.

I want to ... Try the Plant Databases Library (PDL) from: Taxonomic Computer Research P.O.
