American Azaleascover
by L. Clarence Towe
Hardcover - 188 pages (2004); American Rhododendron Society; ISBN: 0881926450
 
Other than a few Asiatic and one European species, North America is home to all the deciduous azaleas, members of the genus Rhododendron. Gardeners interested in knowing more about these attractive, usually fragrant shrubs will discover here the diversity to be found in the species and will learn about recent trends in cultivation, selection, and hybridization. American azaleas are not used as much as they should be in gardens and in landscaping, even in areas where the plants are native and are common along roadsides. The author offers expert recommendations on all the horticultural aspects important for growing these colorful shrubs, including sitting, soil preparation, and companion plantings. His coverage of the native species and the cultivars is comprehensive and up to date. (79 color photos)

coverThe Illustrated Rhododendron: Their Classification Portrayed Through the Artwork of Curtis's Botanical Magazine
by John Curtis (Illustrator), Pat Halliday
Hardcover - 274 pages, (September 2001); 120 Illustrations, Timberland Press: ISBN: 0881925101
 
William Curtis's Botanical Magazine, founded in 1787, is one of the oldest regular publications with color illustrations still in existence. In The Illustrated Rhododendron, Pat Halliday lays out the complicated classification of the genus according to the system approved by the Royal Botanic Garden, Edinburgh, taking as her inspiration the finely detailed drawings that appeared in the Botanical Magazine over the last two centuries. Though, of course, not all of the 850 or so species native to the Northern Hemisphere are pictured or discussed, every subgenus, section, and series is represented, the species chosen for inclusion based on the quality and condition of the illustration available, the importance of the species historically, the popularity of the species, and Halliday's personal interest in it. Halliday's accounts of the selected species' discovery and cultivation, as well as her meticulous descriptions of the plants, range, and habitats, will captivate rhododendron enthusiasts. Ultimately, this is a book on the classification of the Rhododendron genus, with some very pretty pictures thrown in. --Liana Fredley

Seeds of Adventure, In Search of Plantscover
by Peter Cox and Peter Hutchison
Hardcover - 416 pages (July 25, 2008), Antique Collectors Club; ISBN: 1870673581
 
This book is the story of the travels made by two Peters in search of plants in Turkey, India, Nepal, Bhutan, China and Tibet. They explored territory where no western plant hunters had been since such great explorers as Frank Kingdon Ward, and some of the trails they followed were so remote and rough that the plants had never before been studied. Where the Himalayan range meets the gorge country of south-west China lies the richest temperate flora in the world. Here the plant life can mate, mutate and migrate in an evolutionary stew that challenges the botanist to classify it. With their Chinese and Indian colleagues, the Peters introduced many plants, especially rhododendrons, new or lost to cultivation, often saving them from extinction, many of which can be grown outside in the temperate regions of Europe and the United States. 416pp., 5 b/w photos, 740 color photos

Solving Deer Problemscover
by Peter Loewer
Hardcover - 256 pages (August 1985), The Lyons Press; ISBN: 158574672X
 
Able to leap an eight-foot fence, sneak silently through the suburbs at night, and outrun a greyhound (not to mention a beagle or Labrador retriever), the deer is the number one enemy not only of the gardener but of anyone who wants to relax in the backyard without catching Lyme disease from deer ticks or drive safely down a highway without fear of collision.
Solving Deer Problems is an invaluable manual that covers: How to build a fence that will deter and withstand a deer onslaught; the use of chemical weapons such as bottled deer repellent; how to choose plants deer will avoid (and also those that attract them); how to avoid deer on the road. Peter Loewer also discusses why deer seem to be overrunning our suburban communities, and what can be done on the local level.
