Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Prickly Pear Blossoms What I See, And What I Think. I see in church a smooth-tonged priest His congregation's alms implore For 'nighted heathen doomed to rest In ignorance on Afric's shore; Soon ev'ry eye is filled with tears, And ev ry plate with gold replete, - I think of th' awful oaths one hears From drunkards in this very street. I see within a field a crowd Around a man of oily face, "I've got a call!" he cries aloud, And calls himself a "Child of Grace," And vows that all who dare gainsay His creed for Hell are surely bound - I think about the donkey's bray That greets me from th' adjacent pound. I see a duchess seek in state St. James's, upon drawing-room days, A coronet decks her brow elate, On either hand bright jewels blaze; About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dubbed the Bulb Hunter in a 2006 New York Times feature story, Chris Wiesinger took his passion for bulbs to vacant lots, abandoned houses, cemeteries, and construction sites throughout the South in search of botanical survivors whose descendants had never seen the inside of a big-box chain store. The vintage specimens Wiesinger sought came from hardy, historic stock, adapted to human neglect and hot climates, reappearing faithfully over decades without care or cultivation. Traveling back roads, speaking to strangers, looking for the telltale color of a remnant iris or lily, Wiesinger started digging, then began trying to grow and share the bulbs he collected. From its humble beginnings on an East Texas sweet potato farm, his Southern Bulb Company has now grown into a full-fledged business known throughout the world, propagating and selling the rare, tough, heritage plants Wiesinger still seeks out and champions. Nicknamed “Flower” by his fellow cadets at Texas A&M University, Wiesinger relates his adventures in bulb hunting, telling stories of the bulbs he has discovered and weaving in his own life story as a student, plantsman, and small business owner. He then teams with veteran horticulturist William C. Welch to provide advice on how to grow and appreciate the bulbs that have been rescued and reintroduced. This “primer” gives gardeners information on what bulbs to grow where, when to plant them and when they bloom, and how to incorporate them with other plants in the landscape. Finally, Welch describes how bulbs have enhanced his personal gardens and brought him and Wiesinger together in the common cause of heirloom gardening. Entertaining, informative, and loaded with beautiful photographs, The Bulb Hunter is sure to be a favorite of gardeners and plant lovers everywhere.
