young lady in question is extremely intelligent, reads well and has no
difficulty in grasping basic concepts. Obviously descriptive
illustrations would be helpful in maintaining interest.

Does anyone have suggestions on a suitable book? If so we'd be very
grateful.

The "Readers Digest Complete Library of the Garden" was good, I've
still got mine (3 Volumes) purchased new in the early sixties and I
still refer to it even now. Highly recommended.
Maybe Amazon can find you a set.
