Hi All,
Just been sorting thru my pile of mail and came across
Timber Press 1997 catalog. I see where they are adding
three new books to their gardener's guide series. Of
particular interest is:
"The Gardener's Guide to Growing Irises" by Geoff Stebbings.
The catalog states that this is a hardcover boo, and is to
be published July 1997. Has 160pp and 78 color photos. Cost
is $29.95. ISBN: 0-88192-388-5
Also newly noted is:
"Irises - A Practical Gardening Guide" by Karen Glasgow. The
catalog describes this book as "A beautifully illustrated
introduction stressing irises for mild climates (the book
was originally published in New Zealand), with descriptions
of important species, information on soil and cultivation
requirements, discussions of propagation, pests, and
diseases, and suggestions for using irises in the
landscape." It is in paperback form with 104 pages and 99
color photographs. Cost is $19.95 ISBN: 0-88192-373-7
Timber Press can be reached at 1-800-327-5680 or via e-mail
at orders@timber-press.com. They also now have a web site
at www.timber-press.com.
Just thought someone might know about these two books. Any
idea who Geoff Stebbings or Karen Glasgow are? Inquiring
minds want to know! Looks like Timber Press is starting to
get "heavy" with different iris books.
