Flowers From a Canadian Garden by Lawrence Johnstone Burpee Pdf

Excerpt from Flowers From a Canadian Garden: Selected and Edited This little collection is not the first, nor does it profess to be the most complete, anthology of Canadian poetry. Never theless, the compiler feels that it may claim a modest place of its own. It is confined to short lyrics - a limitation which has its disadvantages, but also its advantages. In the case of a few Canadian poets, it is not possible to give a just idea of their value in such a collection as this; but on the whole it is believed that, within its restricted limits, this anthology represents fairly enough the quality and character of Canadian poetry. The selection has been made with the utmost care, and includes the work of several new Canadian poets of promise, as well as verses from some of our early writers who deserve to be kept in remembrance.

Rhetoric and Roses by Edwinna Von Baeyer Pdf

"In a land as fertile and rich with the bounty of its farm and timberlands, it is not surpising that the history of gardening and gardening movemnts in Canada is a story at once as colourful, and fascinating as that of the country itself. And at no time in the history of Canada was the subject more closely intertwined with the recreational, educational, and social fabrics of our own daily lives than in the early years of the present century. Here is the uniquely Canadian story of the development of ornamental and civic gardens, of public parks and parkways that goees hand in hand with the growth of towns and cities across the land, of Canada's "railway gardens", championed by the Canadian Pacific as a beckoning, floral advertisements of the fertility and hospitality of the Canadian west."--Dust jacket.

A New Leaf by Merilyn Simonds Pdf

A graceful and sharply observed book of inspiration that uses the garden as its central muse A New Leaf traces a year of growing seasons at The Leaf, Merilyn Simonds' acreage in eastern Ontario. A lifelong gardener, Simonds works the soil and the soul for wide-ranging revelations about everything from flowers that keep time, to the strange gift of compost, to great gardens of the world, to things lost and found underground. She is joined on her journey by a host of companions — including her Beloved, who tills by her side; the Rosarian, who tends to both bud and thorn in roses and life; and the Frisarian, who weeds unwelcome visitors to make room for new growth. Intelligent and intimate, irreverent and elegant, A New Leaf offers a cornucopia of enrichment and inspiration for the fertile mind.
