New Garden Encyclopedia from Books That Work Provides Better Ways to
Maximize Gardening Success

Multimedia Gardening Tool Takes You Beyond What Books Can Using Powerful
Search and Audio Capabilities

PALO ALTO, Calif., May 1, 1995--Books That Work, a leading multimedia
software publisher of home and garden titles, today announced the release
of Garden Encyclopedia, a multimedia reference tool that takes the
guesswork out of finding the right plants for your garden. This fast and
practical guide helps you select the right plants the first time. It
describes the key attributes and qualities of more than 1,000 annuals,
perennials, bulbs, vegetables, shrubs, vines, and groundcovers that are
nursery-available, nationwide. Every plant in the database is detailed
with a color photograph with its key attributes. Garden Encyclopedia is
available on CD-ROM for Windows at home and garden centers, bookstores and
retail computer software stores nationwide for around $30.00.

Whether you are a novice or an experienced gardener, you can organize
searches to suit your preferences. For example, you can search by common
or botanical plant names; important visual attributes, such as flower
color, bloom season and height; or by local sun and soil conditions and
hardiness zone. Once you've made your selections, Garden Encyclopedia lets
you create, save, and print personal plant lists. Use them for shopping
lists or garden inventories. To help you with the pronunciation of the
more precise botanical names, the program contains audio clips of their
pronunciation so you know how to say them before you visit the nursery.

Complementing the plant database, is a detailed How-to Guide offering
instructions on selection, care, planting and propagation techniques in
narrated video segments. There are more than two dozen lists of plants
that share common characteristics such as "fragrant plants", "plants that
attract hummingbirds" or "plants that thrive in heat". You'll also learn
the least-toxic controls for the most common pests and diseases.

Garden Encyclopedia is a fast, practical reference tool that provides
expert advice for selecting the right plants the first time. This is the
fifteenth release in Books That Works' library of home and garden titles.
