Mr. Crewe's Career Volume 1 Overviews
I may as well begin this story with Mr. Hilary Vane, more frequently addressed as the Honourable Hilary Vane, although it was the gentleman's proud boast that he had never held an office in his life. He belonged to the Vanes of Camden Street,--a beautiful village in the hills near Ripton,--and was, in common with some other great men who had made a noise in New York and the nation, a graduate of Camden Wentworth Academy. But Mr. Vane, when he was at home, lived on a wide, maple-shaded street in the city of Ripton, cared for by an elderly housekeeper who had more edges than a new-fangled mowing machine. The house was a porticoed one which had belonged to the Austens for a hundred years or more, for Hilary Vane had married, towards middle age, Miss Sarah Austen. In two years he was a widower, and he never tried it again; he had the Austens' house, and that many-edged woman, Euphrasia Cotton, the Austens' housekeeper.

The Tulip
`The Tulip' by Anna Pavord is a much different sort of book than the now famous `The Orchid Thief' written by `New Yorker' writer Susan Orlean and the basis of the movie starring Nicholas Cage, Meryl Streep, and Chris Cooper.
Ms. Pavord is a much more conventional writer on things horticultural, although this is certainly not a conventional horticultural book. The subtitle, `The Story of A Flower That Has Made Men Mad' begins to give a sense of the historical importance of the tulip which began as a wild flower native ranging from Asia Minor (modern Turkey) to Persia (modern Iran) and domesticated under the Ottoman sultans who ruled this part of the world in the mid-15th century.
The tulip mania reached heights which are hard to believe today and I'm hard pressed to think of anything comparable in the modern world unless it is the income of professional sportsmen such as Tiger Woods and Andre Agassi who receive astronomical compensations for lending their names to commercial products purely on the basis of a skill at something which for almost everyone else on the planet is a recreation.
I make this comparison because as a tulip grower myself, I find this simply nothing more than a decoration, no more nor less valuable than our dahlias, marigolds, and chrysanthemums. This book makes clear the fact that from 1560 to 1750, the tulip became much, much more than a pretty decoration for spring gardens and dining room floral arrangements.
One thing I can appreciate is the novelty of this lovely flower to the rather dour shores of France, Germany, England, the Netherlands, and Scandinavia in the 16th century. Not only was this flower colorful, even before modern breeders got a hold of it and created an almost endless series of hybrids, but it had an almost magical property of having unusually colored mutants arise from bulbs of monochrome flowers. Ordinary tulip bulbs became unusually pricy in this 200 year period; however, these `sport' bulbs which did not carry over to seeds given off by these plants were sold for astronomical prices, sometimes even as high as the price of a house of the time (in the late 19th century, the cause of this mutation was discovered to be caused by a virus).
While the author does not offer a lot of theorizing on the subject, it seems that Europe was as interested in decorative plants acquired in this age of Exploration as they were with the new foodstuffs coming from the new world. And, while the Dutch were adept horticulturists, so that they had the skills to grow the tulip as well or better than the French or the English, they were also the leading mercantile power in Europe and Asia (leaving the New World to the Spanish) in this period. This means they had the means to bring back to Holland a wide variety of tulips and other bulb flowers.
After the tulip's financial bubble burst, it's popularity was sustained by countless garden clubs in northern Europe, especially in England, leading to the explosion we see today in tulip hybridization surpassed, I suspect by only the business in rose hybrids.
As histories of science and technology go, this may not be quite as thrilling as the history of quantum physics or astrophysics or even mathematics, but it is a great tale of where the intersection of novelty and human folly can take us.

The Tulip Specifications
In an auction held in Holland in February 1637, 99 lots of tulip bulbs fetched a staggering 90,000 guilders, more than .5 million in today's money. Tulipomania had reached its height, and its story is told in just one of the fascinating sections of Anna Pavord's wonderful book on this most seductive of flowers.
Pavord's passion for the flower is evident from the opening pages of the book, where she tells of scrambling across the hillsides of Crete in search of an obscure, indigenous purple tulip. The story of the discovery of this tulip leads into Pavord's extraordinary history of this beautiful, enigmatic flower. As with all the best love stories, Pavord's is told from the perspective of the object of affection--in this case, the tulip--from its adoption by the Ottoman sultans of Istanbul in the 18th century to its present cultivation by the Wakefield Tulip Society.
Along the way, incredible stories of people's investments in the flower emerge, the result, as Pavord explains, of a unique feature of the tulip. Its variegated colors are produced by a small parasitic aphid, which weakens the plant but produces its gorgeous hues. The tulipomania that gripped 17th-century Europe was a form of futures trading, as people purchased tulip bulbs at increasingly inflated prices with the hope that they would flower into the most beautiful and kaleidoscopic colors imaginable. Tulip is an extraordinary book, beautifully illustrated and offering a fascinating story of our obsession with the most ephemeral of objects. Buying tulip bulbs will never be the same again. --Jerry Brotton
The Tulip Overviews
The Tulip is not a gardening book. It is the story of a flower that has made men mad. Greed, desire, anguish, devotion have all played their part in the development of the tulip from a wild flower of the Asian steppes to the world-wide phenomenon it is today. The U.S. alone imports three billion tulip bulbs each year, Germany and France even more.
Why did the tulip dominate so many lives through so many centuries in so many countries? The author, a self-confessed tulipomaniac, has spent six years looking for answers. No other flower has ever carried so much cultural baggage; it charts political upheavals, illuminates social behavior, mirrors economic booms and busts, plots the ebb and flow of religious persecution.
The tulip made great fortunes for people but was responsible for equally spectacular bankruptcies. Millions of aficionados now gaze in awe at the brilliant flower pieces painted in the early seventeenth century by masters such as Ambrosius Bosschaert. But at the time they were painted, these works or art were considered as cheap substitutes for the real flowers. Even Jan van Huysum, the grand master of Dutch flower painting, could rarely command more than 5,000 guilders for a painting. But at auction in Alkmaar, Holland in 1637, a single bulb of the red-and-white tulip "Admiral Liefkens' changed hands for 4,400 guilders.
Roaming through Asia, India, Russia and the Ottoman Empire, the author tells how the tulip arrived from Turkey and took the whole of Western Europe by storm. In the petals of the exquisite English florists' tulips, still exhibited in competition by members of the Wakefield Tulip Society in Yorkshire, runs the blood of flowers first grown by John Evelyn in the middle of the seventeenth century.
Sumptuously illustrated from a wide range of sources, the book also features descriptions of eighty wild-species tulips and several hundred garden varieties. This beautifully produced and irresistible volume will become a bible, a unique source book, a universal gift book and a joy to all who possess it.

Gardening With Roses: Designing With Easy-Care Climbers, Ramblers & Shrubs
I wanted to look at Tony Lord's book on designing with roses before buying it on amazon. So I borrowed it on interlibrary loan and somehow received the McKeon book instead. There was that sudden rush of disappointment when I went to pick up the book. However, I consider myself fortunate to have made the error.
The first section of the McKeon book does a good job of explaining, in laymen's terms, how roses are categorized and what the specific characteristics of each rose class are. In the second section, There is a straight forward description of planting, pruning and caring for roses. The pruning section gives a description for each category of rose. McKeon also does a good, brief job of describing how to propagate roses by layering and by taking cuttings.
The second half of the book focuses on design for specific types of garden (the cottage garden, container garden, the city garden garden, etc.) Each of these sections gives a diagram and plant list for the garden style discussed and shows how the roses discussed at the beginning of the book actually work in gardens. I will be using the plan for the butterfly garden in a local project.
The limitations of the book include the fact that this book uses plants appropriate to the UK, although most of the plants in the butterfly garden design are perfectly suited to the upper Midwest of the U.S. The USDA hardiness zone is given for most roses discussed. This author has definite preferences for roses she considers the best in terms of beauty and being care-free and her recommendations for modern roses are quite limited; she almost completely dismisses hybrid teas as suitable for the care-free garden and her discussion of Austin roses is too brief. An additional limitation is that some of the wider angle photos showing how roses are used in gardens do not identify the rose that is the focal point of the shot. Also, some of the roses mentioned briefly in the text are not included in the index.
Overall, for a beginning rose gardener, I would consider this a good find or good gift. It is straightforward, does not overburden the gardener with too much technical information, gives useful information about old roses, and has wonderful rose photos; for these reasons I rate it a 4 instead of a 3. Having read this book, I will be able to better appreciate the next bed of antique-appearing roses I encounter.

Flower Girl Butterflies
Note: The vote on this review is not against the review, but against me by a malignant troll.
What a wonderful thing it is to include little children in weddings! What a delightful book "Flower Girl Butterflies" is!
First, the illustrations. Christiane Kromer used watercolor, colored pencils, and collage to create the lovely, joyous images throughout the book. After I learned there is collage, I went back to look closely. Yes, that's how she achieved that layered, almost three-dimensional effect. The watercolors create a softened, romantic appeal. And the last two pages--ah, what a fantasy of sweet dreams in purples and lavenders and whites and lilacs!
When I read this story to my four-year-old great-niece, Carolina, she asked so many questions about being a flower girl. Sarah is the little girl whose aunt asks her to be the flower girl in her wedding. You can see Sarah on the cover. Isn't she beautiful? But she is so scared about walking from way, way in back of the church to way, way down to the front.
I related the story to Carolina's older brother. Three years ago when Carolina was just a year old, her older sister and brother were in their cousin's wedding as flower girl and ring bearer, respectively. Chelsea was fine with her job, but Colby. Oh my, at the rehearsal, he lay on the floor, crawled under a pew, and wailed that he could not do this. So did the little ring bearer in our book. It must be in the DNA of little boys to protest weddings even as children. Carolina was fascinated that her big brother was so scared!
But back to our story. Another remarkable aspect of the book is the revelation of family: house guests, preparations, getting dressed, the hustling, the bustling of family celebrating a joyous occasion. Even with little Sarah's trepidations, this is such a happy book. At the reception everyone dances, even Sarah and the ring bearer!
"Flower Girl Butterflies" belongs in every little girl's library for its realism, its fantasy, and its sheer beauty. You know what Carolina said after we finished the book? She patted the back cover and said, "That was a good story!"

Sandra Brown: Three Complete Novels in One Volume: Heaven's Price, Breakfast in Bed, Send No Flowers Specifications
Three Southern settings, three unique adventures, three complete bestsellers make up this one satisfying volume.
When a plane crash leaves her disfigured beyond recognition, TV reporter Avery Daniels finds herself in the hospital, mistaken for a selfish Texas socialite, the wife of a famous senatorial candidate. Initially unable to communicate, Avery is given plastic surgery that makes her "good as new." Stripped of her identity and completely vulnerable, she learns of an insider's plot to assassinate her "husband"--and she's supposedly in on it. Reporter's instincts may be the initial reason for keeping up the charade, but soon other instincts kick in and Avery finds herself trapped in a world of power, politics, lies, and lust. Mirror Image is full-speed from the start, and doesn't ease up until the final, dramatic showdown.
"Before I'm finished, I'm going to know which one of you killed my mother," proclaims Alexandra Gaither, a striking young attorney out for revenge. Ignited by the cryptic words of her ailing grandmother, Alex storms into a dusty Texas town like a hired gun and reopens the 25-year-old murder case she's not even old enough to remember. Best Kept Secrets takes on the big business of small-town politics. Confronting the three most powerful men in the community, Alex attempts to find the flaw in their carefully constructed history. She's ready for almost every possible complication, every hidden danger except this: her growing desire for one of the prime murder suspects.
Schyler Crandall is back in Heaven--Heaven, Louisiana. The adopted daughter of the most powerful man in town, Schyler ran away years before, distraught over a broken engagement and painful betrayal. Now, with her father fighting for his life in a hospital bed, Schyler jumps back into a world of secrets and lies to salvage a family logging empire on the brink of disaster. Slow Heat in Heaven has been hailed for its "steamy prose," and won Brown the Waldenbooks Award for bestselling single title release. It's the perfect capper for this three-in-one pleasure-fest. --Sara Nickerson

The Scented Garden: Creating Fragrance and Beauty in the Home and the Garden With a Rich Diversity of Plants and Flowers Specifications
Obviously, the major attraction of most gardens is their visual appeal, but to create a special sanctuary, you shouldn't overlook the subtle benefit of carefully arranged fragrances. The Scented Garden, by renowned horticulturist David Squire, focuses on filling the air with a rich palette of wonderful scents, "creating a treasure-house that will provide plenty of interest throughout the entire year ... to add an extra dimension of surprise and delight." Using perhaps a bit more text than the average gardening book, Squire offers well-organized and thorough information. He has devoted complete chapters to selecting daytime scents and night-scented plants, creating fragrant pathways and patios, choosing redolent trees and shrubs, and nurturing an especially successful herb garden. There are also detailed charts grouping plants by aroma, citing preferences for optimal results, and useful instructions on a variety of craft projects such as creating wreaths, perfumed papers, and candles. Hundreds of colorful photos make the book visually appealing as well, and help illustrate various plants and recommended combinations. Whether your plot spans the window of a city apartment, borders a suburban patio, or spreads across a country mile, this lovely volume can help take your garden to the next level of sensory perception and develop the aromatic appeal of your entire home. --George Laney

Wild Flower Children (Classic Children's Nature Books)
Originally published in 1918, this beautiful picture book is filled with sweet little flower children that look a lot like fairies but of course they are only "playmates of the fairies" so they don't always have wings. They are dressed in the most charming Victorian costumes including lace petticoats, bonnets, pinnafores, spats, and waistcoats. Each one represents a wild flower, rendered in satisfying detail by this talented illustrator and accompanied by a nostalgic little poem. The flowers are identified by their Latin names as well as their often quaint and colorful folk names such as Frostweed, Virgin's Bower, Pearly Everlasting, Baby Blue Eyes and Gold Thread.
I love this book and the other three by the same writer, Bird Children, Flower Children, and Mother Earth's Children. I'm so glad they are back in print and I know they will delight anyone who believes in fairies.
