They were just what she needed for her own garden, and she asked her host what they were. "Those are Nellie Stevens hollies," was the reply. She looked again and couldn't help but wonder about the name. Who in the world is Nellie Stevens, and how did her name ever become associated with this plant? She noted other intriguing names, and she asked similar questions. She saw a beautifulblue clematis and wondered if Betty Corning was still alive and what stories she had to tell.She wondered about the places and people whose names are associated with so many popular garden plants. She is not alone. If necessity is the mother of invention, curiosity is the mother of research. In many cases, we wonder not what our gardens grow, but who our gardens grow. Until now, these accounts have not been compiled and unfortunately, many of the people are disappearing, their stories with them. Now gardeners can enjoy the beauty of their plants and delight in the tales they tell." ; Contents: Anna, Illinois -- Arnold Arboretum -- Janes Bath -- Lole Benedict -- ray Bracken -- Luther Burbank -- Molly Bush -- Cedar lane Farm -- John Champneys, Phillippe Noisette -- Corbett, maryland -- Betty Corning -- John Creech -- Roy Davidson -- Vince and Barbara Dooley -- Eco-Gardens -- Katie Ferguson -- Henry and Sally Fuller -- Fred Galle -- Gardenview Horticultural park -- Azilda Gerbing -- Goodness Grows -- Kim Hawks -- mary Gibson Henry -- Poly Hill -- Andre Iseli -- Tina James -- Joseph Kassab -- Hella Lacy -- Michael Lindsey -- Carol Mackie -- Frank N Meyer -- Montrose Nursery -- David Mooberry -- Mt.

Very Good+ in Wraps: shows just a hint of wear to extremities; bump at the heel of the backstrip has caused a slight buckle; and another bump at the upper corner of the text block has caused a mild buckle at upper corner to the text pages; the binding remains square and secure; the text is clean. Free of creases to the back-strip. Free of any creased or dog-eared pages in the text. Free of any underlining, hi-lighting or marginalia or marks in the text.

Close to 'As New'. NOT a Remainder, Book-Club, or Ex-Library. 4to (11 x 8.5 x 0.5 inches) . Profusely illustrated with photographs in black & white, with an eight-page section of color photographs. Language: English. Weight: First Edition [2006], unstated. Paperback: Pictorial Wraps. Ken Wright calls Tipon a "water garden. " Because it's written by an engineer, you might think this book is loaded up with too much technical detail. Instead, what emerges through good writing and analysis is a fascinating description of Andean/Peruvian topography, history, culture, climate, environment, religion, agriculture, government, engineering, and public works construction spanning 2000 years. Visiting Tipon in March of 2005, I found the draft manuscript of this book to be of tremendous assistance in focusing on Tipon's stunning utility, in addition to its musical beauty. The sight and sound of running water is everywhere. From the book you learn about many features of Tipon and the Andean experience you do not obtain from current travel books, or from the Peruvian guides assigned to you by the tour companies. Visiting this site not far outside Cusco is the perfect compliment to Machu Picchu, whose civil engineering and visitor features are the subject of two other books co-authored by Ken and Ruth Wright with Peruvian anthropologist Alfredo Valencia. Located in a high ravine above the Cusco Valley, Tipon is a paradigm of careful water planning for food supply and ceremonial purposes. Its aesthetic, highly functional design holds an ascending stair-step arrangement of skillfully constructed agricultural terraces for the growing of maize. A comprehensive drainage system underlies the entire site. Points of water-discharge slot through walls of shapely-fitted stone that contain fertile soil the workers brought in for cultivation. These people knew that carefully tended earth was vital to survival, so they created places within the mountain sides built to be earthquake and erosion resistant. Water ritual was also vital to their way of life. In the ceremonial center of Tipon, a perennial spring feeds a magnificent fountain. Four jets of singing water fall gracefully into a splash pool. This water is drinking water pure. The jets are well-designed for easy filling of water jars. After stilling, the water trails down onto the lower agricultural terraces. The upper agricultural terraces receive their watering through a surface diversion from the Rio Pukara 0.84 miles away. Three canals and an aqueduct system take this river water into Tipon for irrigation, supplementing spring water for growing crops. These people early- practiced conjunctive use of ground and surface water. You ascend the agricultural terraces one-by-one along a walking path. At your feet a stone channel runs water. You can see and hear many other conduits conducting water across and through the walls, down wall-faces, along wall footings. Few sites in the world resound like this! Yes, it's a water garden. Above all looms 13, 000 foot Tipon Peak on which the Cruzmoqo is prominent. This is a revered shrine, signal station, and security outpost site marked with ancient petroglyphs. You can circumnavigate by foot an entire mountain side, and feel why the Que.…

Add to basketOriginal Printed Wrappers. Condition: Very Good. First Edition. San Francisco: Sierra Club, 1925. First Edition. Vol XII, No. 2, for 1925. This was published during a several-year time period when the Sierra Club did not stipulate the month of an issue, just the volume, the number, and the year- monthly designations for such an infrequent publication having always been somewhat unnecessary in any case. Original printed wrappers, 9 1/4" x 6 1/4", 102 pp. + unpaginated photographic plates, features and ads, including a plate fold-out with two panoramic wide angles, from Mount Hamilton, by William H. Wright. Very Good plus, really quite close to near fine; the major flaw being the common one that circuit binding (yapp binding) was used, in which cover edges were intentionally extended out beyond page edges, but over time the extended part becomes pressed inward somewhat (see scan). One notable rear-cover chip at top, about 1" x 1.5". Otherwise, just occasional very small points of cover wear. A very handsome copy. See scans. Binding sturdy, contents fine. See scan of contents page for the lineup of stellar club writers and their always engaging and adventurous topics. In addition to the graphics mentioned above, this issue is chock full of photographic plates by the club's best photographers, as well as others. In addition to a serious passel of photos by Walter Huber and Fred Herz, there are photo contributions by T.J. Hellman, Inez Mexia, William E. Colby, Joseph Dixon, H.P. Rankin, Frank H. Lewis, Philip S. Carlton, William H. Wright, Lee L. Stopple, Quong Jue, R.L. van Oosting, and several uncredited. SC2. Walter Huber, Fred Herz, T.J. Hellman, Inez Mexia, William E.
