Re: Plants magazine

 Claire,
I, too, had a subscription to Plants Magazine.  It was expensive and I
gave it up when my employer picked up a subscription.  Many plants
discussed were of UK or Euro. origin and won't be here for years, if at
all.  Many from the US had been available here for a while.  The web site
has Issue 18 downloadable in PDF form (Adobe Reader needed).  It is not a
technical magazine, more a here's what is the newest of the new.   It was
interesting, but expensive.

  With the various licensed UK varieties coming on market here, do you think it 
  could be better now?  Many of the perennials coming into New York and New 
  England are from Canada.  These will be assortments quite different from the 
  local nurseries.  I read some nursery-pro magazines from the family business 
  (again, not mine), and what is available out there is quite varied.  Local 
  nurseries will not take a chance on unknown plants and I guess I cannot fault 
  this as they know their market.  Is this a fat magazine, how many pages - a 
  guess would do?  I had the RHS for a while but also gave it up as it carried 
  a lot of organization news of no interest to American gardeners.   If you 
  want the show dates and other travel info, it is all on the website.  We 
  could use some new publications here that do not speak down to gardeners. It 
  seems they try to find a market somewhere in the middle and that does not 
  make for good reading.  Not everyone can subscribe to every journal out there 
  and some do not address a gardener, rather a specialist in a specific field.
  
  I can't believe that I can have the computer this week with kids all over the 
  place.  It is that PPV on the satellite.  A few hours of quiet!  I have seen 
  Scooby-Doo five or six times today.  Any perennial news is welcome!
