This book is an illustration of the idea of "multilayer flower garden technique". A distinct feature that vitalizes this flower garden technique and makes it unique is its continuous, non-stop flourishing in every corner all season long - from April through October. As one group of plants stops blooming, it "passes the baton" to the next group of flowers located on the very same spot; this produces a spectacular non-stop blossoming effect for the entire season. The book presents six areas ("spots") of the small garden. A reader will see how each "spot" of the garden several times changes dramatically during the season, presenting a set of very distinct pictures. The secret is in applying the multilayer garden flower technique - while one "layer" of flowers is blooming, another one is already resting, the third one is just awakening and the fourth one is gaining strength. The resulting effects are dramatic; you can see how selected spots have changed in the course of one season.

Saratoga Springs is colorful not only culturally and historically, but also literally. Come spring and summer the historic resort town is filled with lush plantings in the public parks, around private homes from the grandest to the most modest, at the Saratoga Race Course grounds and the Skidmore College campus, and even throughout the business district along Broadway. Rather than discouraging Saratoga's green thumbs, the challenging northern climate only inspires residents to celebrate the return of warm weather and the horse-racing season each year with joyful displays of gardens, fountains, and flower-filled containers of every description. "History, health, and horses," the city's motto, neatly sums up Saratoga's most famous attributes. In this celebration of the region's gardens and the people who create them, photographer and writer Janet Loughrey shows us that "horticulture" should be added to that list.

In this eloquent plea for compassion and respect for all species, journalist and gardener Nancy Lawson describes why and how to welcome wildlife to our backyards. Through engaging anecdotes and inspired advice, profiles of home gardeners throughout the country, and interviews with scientists and horticulturalists, Lawson applies the broader lessons of ecology to our own outdoor spaces. Detailed chapters address planting for wildlife by choosing native species; providing habitats that shelter baby animals, as well as birds, bees, and butterflies; creating safe zones in the garden; cohabiting with creatures often regarded as pests; letting nature be your garden designer; and encouraging natural processes and evolution in the garden. The Humane Gardener fills a unique niche in describing simple principles for both attracting wildlife and peacefully resolving conflicts with all the creatures that share our world.

Tell about Night Flowers presents previously unpublished letters by Eudora Welty, selected and annotated by scholar Julia Eichelberger. Welty published many of her best-known works in the 1940s: A Curtain of Green, The Wide Net, The Robber Bridegroom, Delta Wedding, and The Golden Apples. During this period, she also wrote hundreds of letters to two friends who shared her love of gardening. One friend, Diarmuid Russell, was her literary agent in New York; the other, John Robinson, was a high school classmate and an aspiring writer who served in the Army in WWII, and long the focus of Welty's affection. Welty's lyrical, witty, and poignant discussions of gardening and nature are delightful in themselves; they are also figurative expressions of Welty's views of her writing and her friendships. Taken together with thirty-five illustrations, they form a poetic narrative of their own, chronicling artistic and psychic developments that were underway before Welty was fully conscious of them. By 1949 her art, like her friendships, had evolved in ways that she would never have predicted in 1940. Tell about Night Flowers not only lets readers glimpse Welty in her garden; it also reveals a brilliant and generous mind responding to the public events, people, art, and natural landscapes Welty encountered at home and on her travels during the 1940s. This book enhances our understanding of the life, landscape, and art of a major American writer.

Excerpt from Continuous Bloom in America: Where, When, What, to Plant; With Other Gardening Suggestions Fourth. Calceolaria was suggested rather hastily and without first trying it in home soil. The author must mention the disappointing venture with this beautiful golden flower, which lends such a brilliant effect to the English June gardens. An attempt to grow it at home from English seed produced plants of many leaves, but with insignificant flowers. Pos sibly in different soil and moister climate, results might be otherwise. While my first book was devised entirely to meet the amateur's long-felt want for the ABC of garden ing, with fortnightly advice for the untrained gardener, this second book will, I hope, supply the more ex perienced gardener with a comprehensive scheme for continuous bloom, as well as abbreviated plans in a late chapter for those who would specialize in spring and autumn displays. In addition there are some other garden suggestions which may, I trust, be help ful to those who have not as yet gone deeply into this interesting subject.
