DOWNLOAD EBOOKDubbed the Bulb Hunter in a 2006 New York Times feature story, Chris Wiesinger took his passion for bulbs to vacant lots, abandoned houses, cemeteries, and construction sites throughout the South in search of botanical survivors whose descendants had never seen the inside of a big-box chain store. The vintage specimens Wiesinger sought came from hardy, historic stock, adapted to human neglect and hot climates, reappearing faithfully over decades without care or cultivation. Traveling back roads, speaking to strangers, looking for the telltale color of a remnant iris or lily, Wiesinger started digging, then began trying to grow and share the bulbs he collected. From its humble beginnings on an East Texas sweet potato farm, his Southern Bulb Company has now grown into a full-fledged business known throughout the world, propagating and selling the rare, tough, heritage plants Wiesinger still seeks out and champions. Nicknamed “Flower” by his fellow cadets at Texas A&M University, Wiesinger relates his adventures in bulb hunting, telling stories of the bulbs he has discovered and weaving in his own life story as a student, plantsman, and small business owner. He then teams with veteran horticulturist William C. Welch to provide advice on how to grow and appreciate the bulbs that have been rescued and reintroduced. This “primer” gives gardeners information on what bulbs to grow where, when to plant them and when they bloom, and how to incorporate them with other plants in the landscape. Finally, Welch describes how bulbs have enhanced his personal gardens and brought him and Wiesinger together in the common cause of heirloom gardening. Entertaining, informative, and loaded with beautiful photographs, The Bulb Hunter is sure to be a favorite of gardeners and plant lovers everywhere.

Since Satan and his cohorts were banished from heaven on the charge of rebellion, they have made the earth the habitation of wickedness and cruelty (Psalm 74:20). They go around terrorising and bullying the innocent, making the earth an unbearable place to live. Demonic presence is real. Everyone living in demonically controlled homes and environments tends to live in acute fear and trepidation all their lives. Demonic presence opens doors for all kinds of demonic activities like eating in dreams, having sex in dreams, being pressed down during sleep, and other related strange occurrences. In view of this, the book "BANISHING EVIL SPIRITS, DEMONS & GHOSTS FROM YOUR DWELLING" has been written. The book has been published to help victims of demonic presence overcome through rigorous prayers and the godly use of God-given plants.

If you have prayed, fasted, and carried out all forms of spiritual exercises against demonic presence with no visible result, then you might need this book more than anyone else. Getting a copy of this book might be the solution you have long been waiting for. Consequently, everyone suffering from demonic presence will indisputably find this book a useful self-help spiritual guide which brings one out of the ambience of darkness into that of evalasting light.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKDespite their long tradition spices are subject to international modern scientific research. This has made it necessary to disseminate knowledge to a large audience of interest. The book addresses this need by informing the reader about the complex worldwide use of spice plants. The many spice and aromatic plants are arranged in alphabetical order of their botanical relevance. It includes all species which have been cultivated for the above purposes. It also covers species whose usage has long ceased or which are used only rarely or have become wild. In this respect the author has aimed at comprehensiveness. In total over 1400 plants have been collated. The very extensive register of literature has been designed to facilitate intensive study of a specific plant or spice. Works both on botany and agriculture, and on chemistry, pharmacodynamics and usage have been considered. The book is aimed principally at spice and aroma experts, pharmacists, botanists and interested lay persons. But the author also had in mind food chemists, dieticians and agricultural scientists, for whom botany, chemistry and pharmacological aspects may be of interest. It is hoped that those occupied in the spice and aroma industry involved in creating spice blends and the like will also take inspiration from the book.
