18039 COLEUS: RAINBOW FOLIAGE FOR CONTAINERS AND GARDENS. New and wonderful book. There is no way that the Glasshouse Works could not offer this book! Coleus are our love!! By Ray Rogers. Photographs by Richard Hartlage. Coleus are no longer your grandmother's parlor plants. Favorites during the Victorian era, these plants have made a dramatic comeback with a dazzling variety of leaf color, shape, and pattern. No other plant is so easy to grow and propagate. Their sumptuous colors and tough constitution make coleus ideal both as attention-getting focal points and as complements to other foliage or flowering plants. In this lavishly illustrated volume, expert plantsman Ray Rogers offers equal parts of design inspiration and practical advice. The book contains 404 full-color photographs and presents 225 cultivars in the encyclopedia section, which is organized along the lines of plant habit and leaf shape/color. Three major chapters present the ins and outs of culture, propagation, and problems we might encounter along the way. Other chapters cover history, designing with coleus, coleus in containers and in the garden in general, and sporting and reversion. $ 29.95 plus $ 4.50 shipping.

An excerpt from this book: "While the skeptics and unbelievers would answer this question with, "What? There's such a thing as a good coleus?", any coleophile worth his or her salt appreciates which characteristics set a given coleus above another. Perhaps the most important quality of a good coleus is its "set and forget" nature (thanks to Vern Ogren of Color Farm for this catchy term): plant it and enjoy it without needing to make a constant fuss over it. Of course any plant deserves to receive sound horticultural treatment from its caretaker, with at least some thought given to its selection, function, and placement in the garden; adequate site preparation; appropriate amounts of water and fertilizer; and protection from the elements, insects, diseases, and the like."

99524 HORTICA: COLOR CYCLOPEDIA OF GARDEN FLORA IN ALL CLIMATES AND EXOTIC PLANTS INDOORS. New lower price on this wonderful book. A massive undertaking with some 8,100 brilliantly colored photos (on some 920 pages); with an extensive index of valuable descriptive & cultural in formation on every plant illustrated (from the equator to the Arctic reaches). If you need a clear pictorial visualization & solid cultural suggestions about a plant offered in our catalogue, this is a good place to pin it down. Even if the exact species or the exact cultivar of hybrid is not pictured, you will probably be able to locate a similar species or related cousin in Hortica to help you conceptualize our plant. The scope of the enormous book includes essays on scientific names, climatic maps, botanical terms; the special sections on bamboo bonsai, topiary, fruit & nut trees presents a world view, not a single national view of these categories. All this adds up to 1218 pages. Dr. Alfred Byrd Graf. $145.00 plus $20.00 shipping and handling.

Twelve horticulturist-growers concisely provide excellently illustrated techniques appropriate to propagating annuals, (herbaceous) perennials, ferns, bulbs & tubers, rockery plants, conifers, shrubs & trees, houseplants, aquatics, herbs & fruits, and finally, vegetables.

99989 GARDEN PLANTS OF JAPAN By Ran Levy-Yamamori and Gerard Taaffe . Japanese plants have had an unmistakable influence on the gardens of the world. Who can imagine gardens without flowering cherries, hostas, Japanese maples, or magnolias? For all the popularity of these plants in international gardens, however, few gardeners know the full story of Japanese plants — their history and uses in gardens in Japan, their horticultural merits for gardens of all kinds, even the meaning and symbolism of their native names. Now for the first time, a color encyclopedia provides an authoritative overview of the Japanese garden flora. Garden Plants of Japan serves as a manual for horticultural advice, a source of inspiration for armchair gardeners, even a guidebook for travelers to Japan. Sumptuously illustrated, it explores the entire palette of plants cultivated in Japan, carefully noting which plants are authentically Japanese and which are transplants. The selection of plants and the amount of detail and insight are unprecedented. $ 59.95 plus $ 6.50 shipping

99978 GARDENS IN CHINA Peter Valder. In this new companion book to The Garden Plants of China, Peter Valder describes more than 200 gardens he has visited in China. He documents temple courtyards and gardens, evocative enclosures of ancient burial grounds and imperial tombs, and public parks, botanical gardens, and arboreta, most of which have sprung up since 1949.

99987 HIBISCUS, HARDY AND TROPICAL PLANTS FOR THE GARDEN By Barbara Perry Lawton. Hibiscuses have entered an era of increasing popularity as garden designers and home gardeners rediscover the fine attributes of these wonderful plants. Here is the only book that covers the species and cultivars of the genus Hibiscus completely and in detail. Barbara Perry Lawton surveys both kinds of hibiscus: the tropical, subtropical, and warm-temperate plants whose pure, clean colors are such grand assets to modern gardens and homes, as well as the hardy perennials and shrubs that thrive in spite of snow, ice, drought, flood, or poor soil, bearing bright flowers year after year. These classic flowers have a long and fascinating history. The book chronicles the history and traditions of their use in addition to those of Hibiscus relatives such as hollyhocks, okra, and cotton. With more than 200 species, there is great diversity in the genus Hibiscus. Barbara Perry Lawton introduces all gardeners, expert and novice alike, to the possibilities offered by these plants. A photographic gallery of hibiscuses illustrates the richness of the many species and cultivars from which the gardener may choose. $ 27.95 plus $4.50 shipping. To be published September 2004.

99639 THE HOUSE PLANT ENCYCLOPEDIA. Ingrid Jantra & Ursula Kruger. With some 2,000 color photos, few tropical plant collectors can ignore this compendium of solid cultural information - some of the "Tips" entries are inspired, some of the photos (like that of "Burro Tail") will send you right out to your greenhouse, the impressive gallery of rarities (at end of the 384 page book) contains the only photos we know of illustration of numerous choice plants offered in our catalogue. Some designations of "houseplants" (Ricinus, Schizanthus, pansies, etc) give us a slight cultural displacement; but the lack of a sharp-eyed editor when such a comprehensive work was translated into English as well as into USA horticultural jargon, results in some distinctly odd transformations of Plectranthus, Begonias, Salvias and cultivar names in general - so simply play "I Be Editor" when swooping through such rough patches, remembering that disjunctures in nomenclature do exist between Europe & American horticultural use. Large format hardcover for a bargain $40.00 plus $6.50.

99991 A NATURAL HISTORY OF FERNS By Robbin C. Moran,Foreword by Oliver Sacks. A Natural History of Ferns is an entertaining and informative look at why ferns and their relatives are unique among plants. Ferns live in habitats from the tropics to polar latitudes, and unlike seed plants, which endow each seed with the resources to help their offspring, ferns reproduce by minute spores. There are floating ferns, ferns that climb or live on trees, and ferns that are trees. There are poisonous ferns, iridescent ferns, and resurrection ferns that survive desert heat and drought. The relations of ferns and people are equally varied. Moran sheds light on Robinson Crusoe's ferns, the role of ferns in movies, and how ferns get their names. A Natural History of Ferns provides just what is needed for those who wish to grow ferns or observe them in their habitats with greater understanding and appreciation. plus 4.50 shipping $ 29.95 plus $4.50 shipping. It will be available on October 15, 2004.

99640 NEW CITY GARDENER. Judith Adam. "Natural Techniques & Necessary Skills for a Successful City Garden." While focused on urban settings, the very solid (the writer obviously is an actual hands-in-the dirt gardener) information could be easily applied to a high-rise rooftop, a suburban curbside, or an intimate retreat on a thousand acre ranch. Good commentary on abandoning the concept of lawns, visual trickery, the appropriateness of formal versus relaxed versus naturalized style for specific spaces; also, color sources, paved areas and berms, use of vines versus trees for maximum punch, etc. All these good ideas are balanced by solid practical discussions on essentials such as fitting plant & site, structuring the soil, and (did the author read the list of plant collections we offer?) plants for troughs, conifers, containers, baby bogs, etc. And much more. Over 50 good photos (by Tim Saunders) in 224 pages, paperbound. $24.95 plus $4.50 shipping.

99980 PALMS WON'T GROW HERE AND OTHER MYTHS: Warm-Climate Plants for Cooler Areas David A. Francko. Palms that grow in Canada? Bananas that overwinter in Michigan? How about southern crape myrtles that flower in Birmingham, England, instead of Birmingham, Alabama? Although the voice of authority --- and nursery labels --- might say, "You can't grow those plants here," author Dave Francko has a different message for gardeners: "Plants can't read the information on their tags." Laced with humorous anecdotes and based on years of first-hand observations and research, this book provides real-world information to help adventurous gardeners grow plants they never before dreamed possible. Nobody who reads this book will ever look at a plant label the same way again. 0-88192-575-6, 308 pp, 78 color photos, 1 map, 31 b/w photos, 2 tables, 6 x 9", hardcover, © 2003 $ 27.95 plus $6.50 shipping.

99988 PASSIFLORA, PASSIONFLOWERS OF THE WORLD by Torsten Ulmer & John M. MacDougal. Since they were first described in Europe in the 16th century, passionflowers have held a special fascination among plant collectors for their bold, beautiful, complicated blossoms and delectable passionfruits. Most are perennial climbers, but some are trees, shrubs, herbaceous plants, or even annuals, and all lend a dramatic, tropical flavor to any situation. Since they have such a broad range of cultivation requirements, passionflowers can be grown by just about anyone, and cold-hardy species can be grown outdoors year-round. This authoritative, comprehensive volume describes 207 Passiflora species and 31 hybrids. A chapter is devoted to the remarkable coevolution of passionflowers with Heliconius butterflies, which many passionflower enthusiasts now raise alongside flowering vines in the greenhouse. As lushly illustrated as it is informative, Passiflora: Passionflowers of the World reveals the immense variation found among members of this extraordinary genus. $ 44.95 plus $6.50 shipping. This book has not yet been published.

99996 THE PLANT HUNTER'S GARDEN, THE NEW EXPLORERS AND THEIR DISCOVERIES By Bobby J. Ward, foreword by Brian Mathew. Many gardeners are vaguely aware of the "greats" of plant exploration, such as E. H. Wilson, George Forrest, or John Tradescant. Fewer may know the names of today's plant explorers or recognize the makings of a new golden age of plant discovery. Nonetheless, a quick visit to almost any nursery will reveal the bounty of these intrepid plant collectors, whose handiwork enriches gardens everywhere. The Plant Hunter's Garden profiles 32 of today's more prolific plant hunters. From the Czech Republic to the Rocky Mountains, Bobby Ward has sought out those explorers in the private sphere who are collecting plants specifically for horticultural introduction. While providing interesting details on the lives and careers of these new explorers, the real focus of the book is on the plants themselves. Ward asked each of the hunters to choose the very best treasures from their years of collecting, and has sumptuously illustrated these jewels in stunning photos. Many plants in these pages became bestsellers quickly after introduction from the wild, but hundreds more underappreciated gems are sure to entice and surprise any reader of this book. From the comfort of the armchair or the potting-shed table, readers of The Plant Hunter's Garden can embark on their own voyages of discovery in these delightful pages. $ 39.95 plus $4.50 shipping This book has not yet been published. It will be available on October 1, 2004.

99871 THOREAU'S GARDEN: Native Plants for the American Landscape. A book only Peter Loewer could write and beautifully illustrate with 54 of his own botanical drawings. After a brief overview of Thoreau and discussion of botanical terminology, Loewer presents chapters of over 50 native plants, each one commented on by Thoreau in his journals (the marvelous commentaries are fully quoted from the original; thus chapters become descriptions, quotes, and discussions of anything from Spatterdocks and Jack-in-the-Pulpits to Hibiscus, Puff balls, Swamp Pinks and Little Bluestem grass--winding up with a fabulous presentation of eight native ferns. If you own this book (and you will not be able to share your copy), never again can you claim not to be able to put together a program or presentation to any plant group! 256 pages Hardbound. $22.98 plus $6.50 shipping.

18035 TEMPTING TROPICALS 175 IRRESTIBLE INDOOR PLANTS By Ellen Zachos. Original and unique, this guide to luscious, choice indoor plants will convert anyone to a passion for gardening indoors. The possibilities presented are dazzling — lush flowering vines or petite carnivorous plants, intoxicating fragrant jasmine or spiky sculptural succulents. Included are chapters on sustenance, container choices, light, water and temperature requirements, propagation, pests and diseases, even how to summer plants outdoors and travel with them on holidays. Over 200 gorgeous color photographs round out the detailed descriptions of 175 choice plants native to both tropical and temperate regions. In her entertaining style, plant fanatic Ellen Zachos invites everyone, from the horticulturally clueless to the avidly addicted, to share her passion for exotic and unusual indoor plants. Hardcover. $29.95 $ plus $4.50 shipping

99873 TOPIARIES AND ESPALIERS, Plus Other Designs for Shaping Plants. Linda Yang takes a richly illustrated horticultural romp through serious garden design and hopeless whimsy--all with her usually high verve writing style. From frameless topiary ( spirals, corkscrews, tiers, poodles) on to framed topiaries of Jasmine circles, ivy spirals, and ever onward to stuffed (moss filled) frames, Linda discusses how to achieve the end effect and what palette of plants to rely on. The 122 page book ends with a series of chapters on fruit trees & firethorn in espalier bondage, on boxwood (and other plants as well) in mazes, knots and parterres, on sheering hedges into amazing shapes (with suggestions of various victim species), on weaving your pleached beech, and finally on a bit of pollarding and coppicing. Hope you have some energy reserves because the fabulous color photos might challenge you to attempt some of these fantastic creations! $14.00 plus $4.50 shipping.

99633 THE TROPICAL LOOK. Robert Lee Riffle. "An Encyclopedia of Dramatic Landscape Plants" After making valuable distinctions between "tropicals" versus the typically chill tolerant "tropical appearing plants," Riffle presents exhaustive detailed entries for over 2,000 plants in this Zone 8 and up category full of solid information including Palms, ferns, aquatics & vines often overlooked in most books. While unfortunately no editor insisted on photos of each genera, the some 400 color photos included are excellent, often silently suggesting how to incorporate many of the plants we offer in our catalogue into marvelous exotic appearing gardens - whether using Aloes & dramatic Agaves, Alocasias and bolder Colocasias, incorporating Gingers & variegated Manihots, punching up a garden with bromos & pachys, or using passion vines & ferns to tie things together. Valuable compendiums close this massive book: lists of drought tolerant plants, of fragrant plants, of hedges, of shade tolerance, of variegate & colorful foliaged plants, of vines, etc. Large format hardback of 524 pages for $49.95 plus $6.50 shipping.

99845 THE ULTIMATE WATER GARDEN BOOK. Jean-Claude Arnoux. Yes, we also recoil at words like "Ultimate" in book titles--but this large sized book will extend your concepts of usable, workable plants from bog to pool to floating container plants. And the large color photos are used with abandon, starting with theme water gardens--Chinese, Japanese, Moorish, European classic, contemporary suburban, courtyard, fountain, wild, rockery, hardy exotic, and tropical. You will be motivated. Very detailed discussions of the ecology and installation (with pros and cons on each of the major concrete & liner types) of pools follow, then a survey of how to select the right plant for your location & type of design, expanded into a major section with excellent photos of habit, cultivar cultivation, and method of growing an enormous range of plants. We are impressed that a solid array of North American natives are included here, as well as an intelligent commentary on excellent tropicals--two categories mostly missing from other books on aquatics. Large format hardback of 216 pages for $39.95 plus $6.50 shipping.

99994 VARIEGATED TREES AND SHRUBS, THE ILLUSTRATED ENCYCLOPEDIA By Ronald Houtman, in association with the Royal Boskoop Horticultural Society. Once the subject of snobbery and derision, variegated plants are now among the more sought-after and collected treasures of garden connoisseurs. Whether marbled, dotted, splashed, or veined, variegated foliage never fails to catch the eye and to add excitement whatever the flowering season. Variegated Trees and Shrubs (which includes woody ground covers and vines as well) fills an important gap in the literature and provides valuable information on selections that provide long-lasting specimen and accent plantings for years of garden pleasure. Written under the sponsorship of the Netherlands' prestigious Royal Boskoop Horticultural Society, this book describes in detail nearly 800 variegated trees, shrubs, and vines available internationally from nurseries. Painstaking in the accuracy of its nomenclature — variegated plants are notorious for being misnamed in commerce — this volume also includes a scientific discussion of the reasons for variegation as well as an essay on how to design with variegated plants in any garden. More than 760 garden photographs have been assembled from the author's collection and from contributors around the world. $ 49.95 plus $6.50 shipping. This book has not yet been published. It will be available on September 15, 2004.
