This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1864 edition. Excerpt: ... PLANTS MOST USED FOE WINTER AND SPRING DECORATION, WITH THEIE GENERAL TREATMENT, CULTUEE, AND PROPAGATION. Altssum (madwokt). The Alyssum is one of the most useful. It begins to bloom as early as February if it has been properly cared for; and it continues less or more up to the end of May. April is perhaps the time it makes most display, when its golden yellow bloom comes out in great profusion, either as beds or ribbons, or as edgings to baskets, vases, &c, where something half-trailing is required. They can be lifted back and forward at any time. Some of our plants are several years old, and never fail in blooming; they are even now (end of August), so much in bloom as to make a good show in the back border where they are laid in. Varieties.--There are a great many very beautiful varieties besides those mentioned in this work; but not having grown them we can only say, the early-blooming sorts can be used as those given. Saxatile has a light leaf and bright yellow flowers. Saxatile variegata is a good edging plant, and blooms as the other, but if used for edging the bloom frequently takes away the effect of the variegation. Argenteum is a silvery-leaved variety, with yellow flowers. Calycinum is an annual, and for spring-blooming should be sown in August, and transplanted into the beds. It makes beautiful white edgings, and is very sweet. Treatment and Culture.--They grow in any common garden soil, and, like many of the Cruciferse, will keep alive for months without any roots whatever if kept from the hot sun. In planting them in the autumn in beds or rows, they are spread out and pegged into their proper places. When the beds are large a few Lasthenia seed are sprinkled over the surface, or a few plants put between, which being the...

Recreate the wild beauty and thriving ecology of meadows, prairies, woodlands, and streamsides in your own garden. In New Naturalism, horticulturist and modern plantsman Kelly D. Norris shares his inspiring, ecologically sound vision for home gardens created with stylish yet naturalistic plantings that mimic the wild spaces we covet—far from the contrived, formal, high-maintenance plantings of the past. Through a basic introduction to plant biology and ecology, you’ll learn how to design and grow a lush, thriving home garden by harnessing the power of plant layers and palettes defined by nature, not humans. The next generation of home landscapes don’t consist of plants in a row, pruned to perfection and reliant on pesticides, fertilizers, and herbicides to survive. Instead, today’s stunning landscapes convey nature’s inherent beauty. These gardens are imbued with romance and emotion, yet they have so much more to offer than their gorgeous aesthetics. Naturalistic garden designs, such as those featured in this groundbreaking new book, contribute to positive environmental change by increasing biodiversity, providing a refuge for wildlife, and reconnecting humans to nature. In the pages of New Naturalism you’ll find: Planting recipes for building meadows, prairies, and other grassland-inspired open plantings even in compact, urban settings Nature-inspired ways to upgrade existing foundation plantings, shrub beds, and flower borders to a wilder aesthetic while still managing the space Inspiration for taking sidewalk and driveway plantings and turning them into visually soft, welcoming spaces for humans and wildlife alike Ideas for turning shady landscapes into canopied retreats that celebrate nature Creative ways to make an ecologically vibrant garden in even the smallest of spaces New Naturalism approaches the planting beds around our homes as ecological systems. If properly designed and planted, these areas can support positive environmental change, increase plant and animal diversity, and create a more resilient space that’s less reliant on artificial inputs. And they do it all while looking beautiful and improving property values.

He visits thousands of gardeners each year. Some of them see him coming, others are caught by surprise. Far too many never recover. His name is Jack Frost -- and he's coming soon to a garden near you. A Gardener's Guide to Frost is packed with practical advice that every gardener can put to use each summer. Readers will learn to look at their gardens the way Jack Frost does so they can keep their gardens thriving despite his icy visits. The clear, easy-to-understand explanations come from someone with dirt under his fingernails, and the book includes helpful tables and other resources, including a handy chart listing the frost tolerance of common garden vegetables. Readers will also meet some gardeners who have devised ways to keep on gardening right past fall frosts and into winter. For all its practical advice, however, this book doesn't present Jack Frost as some sort of villain who spoils our all-too-short gardening seasons. Rather, it explains how we can learn to garden with frost -- even embracing it as a friend who helps us slow down and appreciate the beautiful and fleeting gifts of gardening. Book jacket.
