Landscape Plant Manager Version 1.91
Thank you for obtaining a copy of the Landscape Plant Manager. I
hope the program will be of use to you in your work.
The Landscape Plant Manager is a plant selection program
developed for use by students in horticulture curriculums,
members of the landscape industry and homeowners.
Through various menus within the program, one can store and
retrieve information on plants used in the landscape. The main
feature of the Landscape Plant Manager is the ability to find
plants in a data file based on 1 to 24 different criteria
including such characteristics as form, height, spread and
hardiness zone. Depending on memory and disk storage capacity, a
Landscape Plant Manager data file can hold from 500 to 5000
different landscape plants.
This shareware software currently requires an IBM PC or true
compatible computer with a minimum of 256 kilobytes of memory and
one floppy disk drive. A memory capacity of 256 kilobytes or
larger with a hard disk or larger capacity floppy is preferred.
If you do find the program useful, I hope you can make a $50.00
donation to the Agricultural Technical Institute/Ohio State
University Development fund. Your donation will go towards the
purchase of hardware and software for use in teaching and
training our students about computer technology and use in
horticulture. Some of the money will also be used to further
enhance the Landscape Plant Manager and to develop other programs
for use in the landscape industry.
To use the Landscape Plant Manager, please make a copy of the
