Wow, I've always wanted to do this ever since I read "The Fragrant Year"
by Helen Van Pelt Wilson. And in connecting up to our public library to
get her name, I came across several other books which I must read on the
same subject: "The Evening Garden" by Peter Loewer, "The Scented
Garden" by David Squire, "Growing Fragrant Plants", by Rayford Clayton
Reddell, and "The Scented Garden" by Rosemary Verey.
The scented plants I have are Dames Rocket, Dianthus, the Oriental
lilies, Clethra and Mockorange shrubs, a David Austin rose - Fair
Bianca, and the peonies. My favorite of all scents is a tree I don't
have and won't have--but I can smell it all over town when it is
blooming--Russian Olive.
