HOW TO BUY THE RIGHT PLANTS, TOOLS, AND GARDEN SUPPLIES Jim Fox
A garden center can be an intimidating space to someone who doesn’t know the difference between shears, pruners, and loppers. And new gardeners often spend hundreds of dollars only to watch plants languish and tools remain unused due to poor choices. But with How to Buy the Right Plants, Tools, and Garden Supplies in hand, anyone can approach the nursery with confidence. Jim Fox—with over 25 years of nursery experience—turns new gardeners into savvy consumers. Tips include how to pick a healthy plant, how to choose the right shovel for the job, how to read the information on a plant label, and what tools and supplies every gardener truly needs. The book’s humorous and accessible advice allows readers to leave their buyer’s remorse behind. How to Buy the Right Plants, Tools, and Garden Supplies is a must-have for new gardeners, homeowners, and anyone looking for help navigating the nursery.

Annuals Sold in packs of from two to six cells or separately in fourinch or larger pots (rarely smaller), annuals should look in balance with the pot. The root system should be just starting to fill around the edges of the root-ball, which of course you cannot see. Ask a nursery staff person if he or she will tip the plant out of the pot so you can see the roots. Most nurseries will do that, though for some large annuals with fragile stems, like dahlias, it may not be possible. Roots running out of the drainage holes or growing into neighboring pots most often indicate that the plant is potbound. This is not always a bad thing. Ask. With some plants, like marigolds, you can score the root-ball with a knife and it will stimulate the roots to grow into the soil when you pull them out of the pot just before planting. Other plants will sulk and die if you try that or will dry out because the root-

The roots of a plant should be just to the pot’s edge, ready to move out into your garden’s soil when planted. Avoid a plant with roots that are too overgrown and compacted or that hasn’t produced enough roots yet to reach the pot’s edges.

When you buy long-handled tools, look for a working end of 14 gauge metal or more and a shank at least a foot long affixing the working end to a sturdy handle.
Long-handled tools Long-handled tools—shovels, rakes, hoes, spades, and other tools with handles more than three feet long—are made to keep you from bending over too far and straining your back. I use six kinds of long-handled tools: round-end shovel, spade, spading fork, broad-bladed hoe, steel-tined rake, and leaf rake. If you’re a shorter person, handles can be shortened if needed. Taller people may need to look far and wide to find a handle long enough for themselves. Don’t buy short. Handles are made from wood, metal, or fiberglass. I prefer wood because it is lighter. Be sure to buy quality; a cheap wooden-handled shovel that snaps during digging is not only frustrating and useless but also potentially dangerous. If you like fiberglass handles, buy them. There is nothing inherently wrong with them. They are stronger than most woods. The difference is really subjective. Wooden handles are mostly made of ash—a strong, straight-grained wood. The handle should be wiped down every so often (this isn’t a science, but at least twice a year—and certainly before putting away for the off season) with mineral oil or any other wood oil to keep it from drying out and cracking. If the grain raises a sharp edge, give the handle a quick rubdown with sandpaper to smooth off the potential splinters, then oil. The metal working end of a tool—the blade, rake tines,

GARDENING IN MINIATURE CREATE YOUR OWN TINY LIVING WORLD
Janit Calvo with photography by Kate Baldwin Anyone who has ever owned a dollhouse knows that there is an oversized delight in building something so small. The same can be said for designing, planting, and tending to a miniature garden. Miniature gardens can be grown indoors, outdoors, and in a variety of containers. And the design is limited only by the gardener’s imagination; they can include trees, flowers, stones, furniture, wildlife, paths, bridges, ponds, and much more. A tiny Japanese garden with a bridge crossing a flowing stream can be built in a 10-inch pot. A miniature patio with furniture and a backyard fire pit can be finished in an afternoon. Gardening in Miniature offers a modern approach that is equal parts gardening, crafting, and creativity. Packed with step-by-step instructions, design 101, basic plant care, and tips on how to find and
buy plants and accessories, it captures everything a reader needs to begin building their own tiny world. Gardening in Miniature is for gardeners, crafters, DIYers, and anyone with the desire to create a vibrant, small-scale, living world.

HOW TO ERADICATE INVASIVE PLANTS Teri Dunn Chace
Invasive plants are everywhere—on roadsides, wetlands, and lakesides; in farmlands, orchards, fields, and meadows; in public parks and in our front and backyards. A pest beyond the tedious weed, invasive plants are a threat to biodiversity and natural systems. They are, in short, bad plants. How to Eradicate Invasive Plants includes 200 of the most common invasive plants throughout North America, from English ivy in the Pacific Northwest and mile-a-minute vine in the Northeast, to kudzu in the Southwest and multiflora rose in the Midwest. This easy-to-use guide offers everything a gardener needs to take control; plant profiles offer complete information, and diagnostic photos make identification simple. Eradication options include less toxic approaches, such as digging up, smothering, and mowing, and options for safe chemical treatments. With this reference on their shelves, gardeners, landscapers, and managers of public and private land across the country can confidently tackle the bad plants and make room for the good!
Kudzu is known as the weed that ate the south (top left). Purple loosestrife is an attractive but aggressive plant (top right). English ivy smothers any plant in its vicinity (bottom left). Scotch broom grows quickly and self sows (bottom right).

TEAMING WITH NUTRIENTS THE ORGANIC GARDENER’S GUIDE TO OPTIMIZING PLANT NUTRITION
• Using the wrong nutrients can lead to a decline in plant health and soil contamination
Jeff Lowenfels Most gardeners realize that plants need to be fed but know little to nothing about the nature of the nutrients involved. Why does this matter? Gardeners typically rely on advertising or hearsay for their knowledge of plant nutrients. And learning to use nutrients properly will not only result in healthier plants, but it can also help to head off serious environmental problems. Just as he demystified the soil food web in his ground-breaking book Teaming with Microbes, in this new work Jeff Lowenfels explains the basics of plant nutrition from an organic gardener’s perspective. Teaming with Nutrients reveals the role of both the macronutrients and micronutrients and shows gardeners how to provide these essentials through organic, easy-to-follow techniques. This accessible yet comprehensive guide features lessons in the basic biology, chemistry, and botany needed to understand how plant nutrients work. With this book in hand, gardeners finally have a simple path toward a well-fed plant!
Water PathWays Water moves through plants along three different pathways. The apoplastic pathway is located in the cell walls, which are porous and connected. Water can travel from wall to wall, but when it encounters the waterproof Casparian strip, it is prevented from crossing into the central area inside the root known as the stele. Water then either must leave the root via the cell wall system or move into a cellular pathway inside the plant. The symplastic pathway is through the interior parts of cells. Water moves from the cell wall through the adjacent cell membrane and into the cytoplasm of a plant cell. Each cell of a plant is connected to its neighbors by tiny tunnels called plasmodesmata. The symplastic pathway is entirely inside plant cells, with molecules able to move from one cell to the next and then the next, throughout the plant. Cell
xylem
vacuole
organelles in the cytoplasm are not part of the symplastic pathway. They get in the way, and molecules must move around them if they are to stay on the symplastic path. Finally, there is the intercellular or direct pathway. The chemical properties of water molecules and their small size allow them to move directly through cell walls and cell and organelle membranes, regardless of whether the structure acts as a barrier to other molecules. Thus, water can take the short route to the plant’s vascular system, which is where all three pathways are headed. Water is essential for the movement of nutrients through the plant. It is important to note that water molecules travel along all three pathways simultaneously, which helps to explain the tremendous volume of water that travels through a plant.

The plasmalemma is the outer cell membrane that sits against the inside of the cell wall. A permeable membrane allows things to pass through. Because only certain things can pass through the plasmalemma, however, it is a semi-permeable membrane, screening what can enter and exit a cell. The plasmalemma is a barrier holding in the liquid cytoplasm and
organelles that make up a cell. The plasmalemma holds all of this inside, while keeping some other things from entering the cell. This is not just about getting nutrients in to the plant. The flow through the plasmalemma is bidirectional. How else would plant-produced exudates move out into the soil? Plasma is matter that is not quite solid nor liquid nor gaseous, but rather in a phase that is something of all three. Many of you may have

the nitrogen cycle Atmospheric nitrogen (N 2 ) is so tightly bound that it is unavailable for use in most biological systems. Plants, however, need nitrogen in large quantities. A tiny fraction is made available by electrical and snow storms, but until the early 1900s it was the job of specialized microorganisms to break these bonds and make nitrogen available to plants. some of these nitrogen-fixing bacteria live in a symbiotic relationship with plants in root nodules, Rhizobia nodules on legumes, for example. Others, such as Azotobacter, are free-living soil organisms. Both have the ability to break the triple covalent bond that holds the two nitrogen atoms together. Today, the HaberBosch process allows for artificial nitrogen fixation and only about 50 to 60 percent of available nitrogen is produced by biological systems. Fixed nitrogen in the form of ammonium (NH4+) and nitrate (NO3 –) is useful as nutrients to plants and is
taken up and assimilated into various compounds within the plant. When plants die, either a natural death or as a result of being eaten by animals, they decompose. The decay by bacteria and fungi results in ammonification, the production of NH4+. some of this is taken up by plants, and the rest is converted by nitrifying bacteria to nitrite (NO2–), which is then converted by bacteria and Archaea into NO3 –. some nitrate is absorbed by plants and assimilated, some remains in the soil, and the rest washes out of the soil and is suspended in water. When soils or water that contains nitrogen become anaerobic (that is, they lack oxygen), nitrates are converted back to atmospheric nitrogen, as some anaerobic microbes use nitrogen compounds as their energy source. This nitrification is a big loss for the gardener, but it does complete the nitrogen cycle.

Blackburnian warbler / Setophaga fusca
T
he Blackburnian warbler is considered to be the most brilliant of all the wood warblers, with the bright plumage of a tropical bird. This 5-inch bird’s beauty is best appreciated seen in its forest home against a backdrop of dark conifers. The male in breeding plumage has a vivid orange throat, a large white wing patch, and distinctive black head markings. The female and young have similar but paler markings. The song is a thin, very high-pitched zip-zip-zip-zipzeeeeee. The Blackburnian warbler is one of the first birds to stop singing in summer.
Habitat
Blackburnian warbler usually nests in hemlocks, such as the Canada hemlock (Tsuga canadensis).
It is an arboreal bird, usually keeping well concealed in the foliage of the tall spruce, pine, and hemlock trees it prefers. The bird’s high-pitched song is usually the only indication of its presence. It often uses the tip of a tall tree for a singing perch.
Nesting
The birds nest in coniferous trees, including hemlocks, spruces, firs, pines, and cedars, and tamaracks. Its fondness for hemlocks has earned it the name hemlock warbler. They build a nest of small twigs, dry grasses, and soft plant down or lichen, lined with lichens, mosses, rootlets, and hair, on a horizontal branch well out from the trunk and 5 to 85 feet above the ground. The female lays 4 or 5 brown-spotted white eggs. The male may occasionally share the incubation duties, which last for 11 or 12 days. Both parents feed the young.
Feeding Habits
The Blackburnian warbler is mainly insectivorous like other wood warblers. It feeds on beetles, crane flies, ants, and small caterpillars, and also will consume some berries.
Migration and Winter Range
The Blackburnian warbler is known only as a migrant throughout most of the eastern United States. By late summer, most of the birds have left their breeding grounds and, throughout August and September, are seen drifting through deciduous woods in mixed flocks with other warblers. By early October, most have left the United States en route to their winter range from Guatemala south to central Peru and Venezuela.
Breeding Range
The bird’s breeding range covers the mature and well-developed secondgrowth coniferous and mixed woodland forests of the lower Canadian and upper transition zones from central Saskatchewan east to the Gaspe Peninsula and Nova Scotia, and south to central Minnesota, central Wisconsin, central Michigan, northeastern Ohio, southeastern New York, Massachusetts, and the Appalachian Mountains, to northern Georgia and South Carolina.
Breeding Behavior
The male bird characteristically frequents the tops of tall trees in his breeding area, facing his colorful breast into the sunlight. A glimpse of the vivid orange shows why this bird is also called firethroat.

AMERICAN HOME LANDSCAPES A DESIGN GUIDE TO CREATING PERIOD GARDEN STYLES
Denise Wiles Adams and Laura L. S. Burchfield For every significant period of America’s home architectural style, there is a corresponding landscape style. From the circular flower beds of the early nineteenth century to the family-friendly yards of the modern era, the history of American taste and style can be seen through its gardens. American Home Landscapes is a comprehensive guide to almost 400 years of American landscape design. It offers garden designers and landscape architects the details necessary to create historically accurate gardens that are adapted to modern needs. The landscapes and garden styles of six eras are profiled with information on each era’s architectural style, landscape design, landscape features, and regional plant lists. American Home Landscapes is the only book designers need to design and modernize a historically inspired garden.

his era opens with the country at war. The Civil War would continue to occupy the nation’s heart and soul for four long years. Landscape design and garden making were not at the forefront of the national consciousness during the 1860s; economic times were difficult following the war, and major depressions in 1873 and 1893 left many people unemployed. Still, there was rapid growth in the areas of industry and transportation, which contributed to a boom in housing. As the years passed, more and more enthusiasm was directed toward the making of functional—and ornamental—landscapes: “Decorative Planting [is] the art of picture making and picture framing, by means of the varied forms of vegetable growth” (Scott 1870).
Queen Victoria of England reigned from 1837 to 1901, and her name is used to describe the American architectural style of buildings constructed between 1860 and 1900. Victorian architecture took advantage of trends and changes in housing construction techniques and the increased range of transportation options. Structures featured multifaceted shapes and details derived from classical and medieval prototypes. Second Empire, Queen Anne, Folk Victorian, and Richardsonian Romanesque are all sub-styles of Victorian architecture. Most people recognize Queen Anne houses as those with bay windows. Towers are an imposing feature of some, and most have porches with finely turned supports. The walls might have different types of siding, giving Queen Anne houses a multitextural appearance. Folk Victorian houses are simpler examples of the Queen Anne style; the house is much less ornate and the main recognizable feature is the porch with spindlework and trim. The main distinguishing feature of Second Empire architecture—so named because it imitated French style during the reign of Napoleon III, France’s “Second Empire”— is the mansard roof, a dual-pitched hipped roof with dormer windows on a steep lower slope. Second Empire houses were particularly popular in the Midwest and on the East Coast between 1860 and 1880. Houses in the Richardsonian Romanesque style, named for noted Boston architect Henry Hobson Richardson, are always of masonry and usually feature stonework. A wide, rounded arch at each entryway is another key feature. This style was used more often for commercial buildings than for private residences; it reached the height of its popularity in the 1890s.

INduSTRIALIzATIoN IN uRBAN areas motivated those who could afford it to move where the air was cleaner—farther away from the city centers. Frank J. Scott of Toledo, ohio, was one of the first landscape architects to work with these new “suburban” properties. He is often credited with instilling in Americans an appreciation for the lawn as a symbol of community, an “emerald carpet” connecting the residences in a neighborhood. His 1870 design classic, The Art of Beautifying Suburban Home Grounds of Small Extent, inspires gardeners to this day.

Landscape Design Judging from the prominence of gardening books and magazines that not only continued to circulate but proliferated during these four decades, an avalanche of information was offered to the residents of houses, large and small, with the message that one should make a plan for one’s residence and then implement it. Although most of the literature dealt with residential landscapes of varying sizes and locations, there was an increased awareness of the need for guidelines for smaller urban and suburban properties. Landscape design continued to illustrate the principal ideals of Andrew Jackson Downing: that is, the juxtaposition of an informal, ornamental area with geometric beds for functional plantings like vegetables, fruits, and herbs. In Downing’s time, the geometric beds would be at the rear of the house; beside them would be a yard for drying clothes and any other service areas, including privy. In Victorian landscapes, however, geometric beds for ornamentals were also inserted in the midst of more naturalistic plantings at the front of the house—the adage “more is better” was the rule of the day. Historians in recent years have criticized the gaudy nature of the Victorian landscape; but even the designers of the period seem to have been aware of a cultural penchant for excessive ornamentation, and cautionary advice crops up everywhere in their writings. Scott (1870) illustrates two landscapes, one that shows restraint in its use of plants and the other that in ten years will be a “mass of agglomerated and tangled verdure.” Scott and others recommended that trees and shrubs should play an important role in helping to screen undesirable vistas, provide all-season decoration, and delineate property boundaries. Every designer urged the placement of at least one large tree for shade in the front yard, often mentioning the purple-leaved variety of beech (Fagus sylvatica ‘Purpurea’). The challenge then as now was to be familiar with the plant materials and to know and understand their growth habits and mature size. Many landscape designs also featured at least one weeping tree, often a weeping willow (Salix babylonica) or a weeping beech (F. sylvatica ‘Pendula’). A porch covered in vines and climbing plants was a common feature of the residences; a porch might even have supported several different vines—wisteria, clematis, a climbing rose—grown together. Porches were also important as a place to grow more plants, in containers that ranged from tin cans to elaborate urns to rustic baskets. Hanging baskets, containing a mixture of colorful and trailing plants, also adorned porches. The Boston fern (Nephrolepis exaltata) so often associated with Victorian parlors was introduced into cultivation in the late nineteenth century and did not become

THE PROFESSIONAL DESIGNER’S GUIDE TO GARDEN FURNISHINGS
• How to successfully communicate with clients and vendors
Vanessa Gardner Nagel
Gardens are more than plants, paths, and walls. To provide a truly useful, restful space, they also need chairs, benches, arbors, trellises, containers, artwork, fire pits, and gazebos chosen specifically with the needs of each unique space in mind. The Professional Designer’s Guide to Garden Furnishings provides both visual inspiration and practical application so garden designers can confidently make smart choices based on their client’s tastes and needs. This comprehensive guide includes an overview of design, an exploration of how furnishing links to architecture, and sound advice about communicating with clients and vendors. It also explores in detail all the material choices available, including wood, metal, textiles, wicker, ceramics, stone, glass, concrete, and synthetics. This guide is indispensable to garden designers, landscape architects, and decorators.
Furnishings have a big impact on a small space (top left). This thought-provoking garden includes a bar-coded backdrop of synthetic material (top right). Hard surfaces are softened by colorful fabrics (bottom left). Coordinating the color of the home and the garden furniture (bottom right).

LETTER FROM THE EDITOR GARDENS COME IN ALL SHAPES AND SIZES, from the glorious, sweeping Piet Oudolf–designed landscapes in Planting: A New Perspective to the tiny, intimate worlds you are inspired to create with Gardening in Miniature. Gardening can even see action on the microscopic level, as in Teaming with Nutrients, the book that explains how plants eat and what best to feed them. In Plant Breeding for the Home Gardener it shrinks even further, to the DNA of plants and how to mix it in order to create new varieties. At any size and scale, gardening is a fun, fascinating exploration of the natural world and Timber Press has a book that will serve as a savvy, welcome companion on that journey. Our very best wishes for a happy gardening season,

HOW TO BUY THE RIGHT PLANTS, TOOLS, AND GARDEN SUPPLIES Jim Fox
A garden center can be an intimidating space to someone who doesn’t know the difference between shears, pruners, and loppers. And new gardeners often spend hundreds of dollars only to watch plants languish and tools remain unused due to poor choices. But with How to Buy the Right Plants, Tools, and Garden Supplies in hand, anyone can approach the nursery with confidence. Jim Fox—with over 25 years of nursery experience—turns new gardeners into savvy consumers. Tips include how to pick a healthy plant, how to choose the right shovel for the job, how to read the information on a plant label, and what tools and supplies every gardener truly needs. The book’s humorous and accessible advice allows readers to leave their buyer’s remorse behind. How to Buy the Right Plants, Tools, and Garden Supplies is a must-have for new gardeners, homeowners, and anyone looking for help navigating the nursery.

Annuals Sold in packs of from two to six cells or separately in fourinch or larger pots (rarely smaller), annuals should look in balance with the pot. The root system should be just starting to fill around the edges of the root-ball, which of course you cannot see. Ask a nursery staff person if he or she will tip the plant out of the pot so you can see the roots. Most nurseries will do that, though for some large annuals with fragile stems, like dahlias, it may not be possible. Roots running out of the drainage holes or growing into neighboring pots most often indicate that the plant is potbound. This is not always a bad thing. Ask. With some plants, like marigolds, you can score the root-ball with a knife and it will stimulate the roots to grow into the soil when you pull them out of the pot just before planting. Other plants will sulk and die if you try that or will dry out because the root-

The roots of a plant should be just to the pot’s edge, ready to move out into your garden’s soil when planted. Avoid a plant with roots that are too overgrown and compacted or that hasn’t produced enough roots yet to reach the pot’s edges.

When you buy long-handled tools, look for a working end of 14 gauge metal or more and a shank at least a foot long affixing the working end to a sturdy handle.
Long-handled tools Long-handled tools—shovels, rakes, hoes, spades, and other tools with handles more than three feet long—are made to keep you from bending over too far and straining your back. I use six kinds of long-handled tools: round-end shovel, spade, spading fork, broad-bladed hoe, steel-tined rake, and leaf rake. If you’re a shorter person, handles can be shortened if needed. Taller people may need to look far and wide to find a handle long enough for themselves. Don’t buy short. Handles are made from wood, metal, or fiberglass. I prefer wood because it is lighter. Be sure to buy quality; a cheap wooden-handled shovel that snaps during digging is not only frustrating and useless but also potentially dangerous. If you like fiberglass handles, buy them. There is nothing inherently wrong with them. They are stronger than most woods. The difference is really subjective. Wooden handles are mostly made of ash—a strong, straight-grained wood. The handle should be wiped down every so often (this isn’t a science, but at least twice a year—and certainly before putting away for the off season) with mineral oil or any other wood oil to keep it from drying out and cracking. If the grain raises a sharp edge, give the handle a quick rubdown with sandpaper to smooth off the potential splinters, then oil. The metal working end of a tool—the blade, rake tines,

GARDENING IN MINIATURE CREATE YOUR OWN TINY LIVING WORLD
Janit Calvo with photography by Kate Baldwin Anyone who has ever owned a dollhouse knows that there is an oversized delight in building something so small. The same can be said for designing, planting, and tending to a miniature garden. Miniature gardens can be grown indoors, outdoors, and in a variety of containers. And the design is limited only by the gardener’s imagination; they can include trees, flowers, stones, furniture, wildlife, paths, bridges, ponds, and much more. A tiny Japanese garden with a bridge crossing a flowing stream can be built in a 10-inch pot. A miniature patio with furniture and a backyard fire pit can be finished in an afternoon. Gardening in Miniature offers a modern approach that is equal parts gardening, crafting, and creativity. Packed with step-by-step instructions, design 101, basic plant care, and tips on how to find and
buy plants and accessories, it captures everything a reader needs to begin building their own tiny world. Gardening in Miniature is for gardeners, crafters, DIYers, and anyone with the desire to create a vibrant, small-scale, living world.

HOW TO ERADICATE INVASIVE PLANTS Teri Dunn Chace
Invasive plants are everywhere—on roadsides, wetlands, and lakesides; in farmlands, orchards, fields, and meadows; in public parks and in our front and backyards. A pest beyond the tedious weed, invasive plants are a threat to biodiversity and natural systems. They are, in short, bad plants. How to Eradicate Invasive Plants includes 200 of the most common invasive plants throughout North America, from English ivy in the Pacific Northwest and mile-a-minute vine in the Northeast, to kudzu in the Southwest and multiflora rose in the Midwest. This easy-to-use guide offers everything a gardener needs to take control; plant profiles offer complete information, and diagnostic photos make identification simple. Eradication options include less toxic approaches, such as digging up, smothering, and mowing, and options for safe chemical treatments. With this reference on their shelves, gardeners, landscapers, and managers of public and private land across the country can confidently tackle the bad plants and make room for the good!
Kudzu is known as the weed that ate the south (top left). Purple loosestrife is an attractive but aggressive plant (top right). English ivy smothers any plant in its vicinity (bottom left). Scotch broom grows quickly and self sows (bottom right).

TEAMING WITH NUTRIENTS THE ORGANIC GARDENER’S GUIDE TO OPTIMIZING PLANT NUTRITION
• Using the wrong nutrients can lead to a decline in plant health and soil contamination
Jeff Lowenfels Most gardeners realize that plants need to be fed but know little to nothing about the nature of the nutrients involved. Why does this matter? Gardeners typically rely on advertising or hearsay for their knowledge of plant nutrients. And learning to use nutrients properly will not only result in healthier plants, but it can also help to head off serious environmental problems. Just as he demystified the soil food web in his ground-breaking book Teaming with Microbes, in this new work Jeff Lowenfels explains the basics of plant nutrition from an organic gardener’s perspective. Teaming with Nutrients reveals the role of both the macronutrients and micronutrients and shows gardeners how to provide these essentials through organic, easy-to-follow techniques. This accessible yet comprehensive guide features lessons in the basic biology, chemistry, and botany needed to understand how plant nutrients work. With this book in hand, gardeners finally have a simple path toward a well-fed plant!
Water PathWays Water moves through plants along three different pathways. The apoplastic pathway is located in the cell walls, which are porous and connected. Water can travel from wall to wall, but when it encounters the waterproof Casparian strip, it is prevented from crossing into the central area inside the root known as the stele. Water then either must leave the root via the cell wall system or move into a cellular pathway inside the plant. The symplastic pathway is through the interior parts of cells. Water moves from the cell wall through the adjacent cell membrane and into the cytoplasm of a plant cell. Each cell of a plant is connected to its neighbors by tiny tunnels called plasmodesmata. The symplastic pathway is entirely inside plant cells, with molecules able to move from one cell to the next and then the next, throughout the plant. Cell
xylem
vacuole
organelles in the cytoplasm are not part of the symplastic pathway. They get in the way, and molecules must move around them if they are to stay on the symplastic path. Finally, there is the intercellular or direct pathway. The chemical properties of water molecules and their small size allow them to move directly through cell walls and cell and organelle membranes, regardless of whether the structure acts as a barrier to other molecules. Thus, water can take the short route to the plant’s vascular system, which is where all three pathways are headed. Water is essential for the movement of nutrients through the plant. It is important to note that water molecules travel along all three pathways simultaneously, which helps to explain the tremendous volume of water that travels through a plant.

The plasmalemma is the outer cell membrane that sits against the inside of the cell wall. A permeable membrane allows things to pass through. Because only certain things can pass through the plasmalemma, however, it is a semi-permeable membrane, screening what can enter and exit a cell. The plasmalemma is a barrier holding in the liquid cytoplasm and
organelles that make up a cell. The plasmalemma holds all of this inside, while keeping some other things from entering the cell. This is not just about getting nutrients in to the plant. The flow through the plasmalemma is bidirectional. How else would plant-produced exudates move out into the soil? Plasma is matter that is not quite solid nor liquid nor gaseous, but rather in a phase that is something of all three. Many of you may have

the nitrogen cycle Atmospheric nitrogen (N 2 ) is so tightly bound that it is unavailable for use in most biological systems. Plants, however, need nitrogen in large quantities. A tiny fraction is made available by electrical and snow storms, but until the early 1900s it was the job of specialized microorganisms to break these bonds and make nitrogen available to plants. some of these nitrogen-fixing bacteria live in a symbiotic relationship with plants in root nodules, Rhizobia nodules on legumes, for example. Others, such as Azotobacter, are free-living soil organisms. Both have the ability to break the triple covalent bond that holds the two nitrogen atoms together. Today, the HaberBosch process allows for artificial nitrogen fixation and only about 50 to 60 percent of available nitrogen is produced by biological systems. Fixed nitrogen in the form of ammonium (NH4+) and nitrate (NO3 –) is useful as nutrients to plants and is
taken up and assimilated into various compounds within the plant. When plants die, either a natural death or as a result of being eaten by animals, they decompose. The decay by bacteria and fungi results in ammonification, the production of NH4+. some of this is taken up by plants, and the rest is converted by nitrifying bacteria to nitrite (NO2–), which is then converted by bacteria and Archaea into NO3 –. some nitrate is absorbed by plants and assimilated, some remains in the soil, and the rest washes out of the soil and is suspended in water. When soils or water that contains nitrogen become anaerobic (that is, they lack oxygen), nitrates are converted back to atmospheric nitrogen, as some anaerobic microbes use nitrogen compounds as their energy source. This nitrification is a big loss for the gardener, but it does complete the nitrogen cycle.

GARDENING FOR THE BIRDS HOW TO CREATE A BIRD-FRIENDLY BACKYARD
George Adams Everyone delights in seeing birds in their yard. They bring color, movement, and song to the garden. We build them homes, provide them with food, and sit back and watch the results. But there is a better way to attract birds beyond filling a feeder with millet and thistle seeds. Gardening for the Birds shows readers how to design a garden that will attract birds year round. The right mix of native trees, shrubs, and perennials not only provide all the food, water, shelter, and nesting sites that birds need, but they also attract a greater variety of species than would normally visit. This complete guide offers everything readers need to start turning a landscape into a birdscape, with tips on attracting hummingbirds and butterflies, gardening with wildflowers, and planning for year-round seeds and fruit. Readers learn to make choices based on their region with a plant
directory featuring more than 170 plants and a bird directory highlighting the 64 most common species. Gardening for the Birds is for gardeners, birders, and everyone looking to bring nature closer to home.

Blackburnian warbler / Setophaga fusca
T
he Blackburnian warbler is considered to be the most brilliant of all the wood warblers, with the bright plumage of a tropical bird. This 5-inch bird’s beauty is best appreciated seen in its forest home against a backdrop of dark conifers. The male in breeding plumage has a vivid orange throat, a large white wing patch, and distinctive black head markings. The female and young have similar but paler markings. The song is a thin, very high-pitched zip-zip-zip-zipzeeeeee. The Blackburnian warbler is one of the first birds to stop singing in summer.
Habitat
Blackburnian warbler usually nests in hemlocks, such as the Canada hemlock (Tsuga canadensis).
It is an arboreal bird, usually keeping well concealed in the foliage of the tall spruce, pine, and hemlock trees it prefers. The bird’s high-pitched song is usually the only indication of its presence. It often uses the tip of a tall tree for a singing perch.
Nesting
The birds nest in coniferous trees, including hemlocks, spruces, firs, pines, and cedars, and tamaracks. Its fondness for hemlocks has earned it the name hemlock warbler. They build a nest of small twigs, dry grasses, and soft plant down or lichen, lined with lichens, mosses, rootlets, and hair, on a horizontal branch well out from the trunk and 5 to 85 feet above the ground. The female lays 4 or 5 brown-spotted white eggs. The male may occasionally share the incubation duties, which last for 11 or 12 days. Both parents feed the young.
Feeding Habits
The Blackburnian warbler is mainly insectivorous like other wood warblers. It feeds on beetles, crane flies, ants, and small caterpillars, and also will consume some berries.
Migration and Winter Range
The Blackburnian warbler is known only as a migrant throughout most of the eastern United States. By late summer, most of the birds have left their breeding grounds and, throughout August and September, are seen drifting through deciduous woods in mixed flocks with other warblers. By early October, most have left the United States en route to their winter range from Guatemala south to central Peru and Venezuela.
Breeding Range
The bird’s breeding range covers the mature and well-developed secondgrowth coniferous and mixed woodland forests of the lower Canadian and upper transition zones from central Saskatchewan east to the Gaspe Peninsula and Nova Scotia, and south to central Minnesota, central Wisconsin, central Michigan, northeastern Ohio, southeastern New York, Massachusetts, and the Appalachian Mountains, to northern Georgia and South Carolina.
Breeding Behavior
The male bird characteristically frequents the tops of tall trees in his breeding area, facing his colorful breast into the sunlight. A glimpse of the vivid orange shows why this bird is also called firethroat.

AMERICAN HOME LANDSCAPES A DESIGN GUIDE TO CREATING PERIOD GARDEN STYLES
Denise Wiles Adams and Laura L. S. Burchfield For every significant period of America’s home architectural style, there is a corresponding landscape style. From the circular flower beds of the early nineteenth century to the family-friendly yards of the modern era, the history of American taste and style can be seen through its gardens. American Home Landscapes is a comprehensive guide to almost 400 years of American landscape design. It offers garden designers and landscape architects the details necessary to create historically accurate gardens that are adapted to modern needs. The landscapes and garden styles of six eras are profiled with information on each era’s architectural style, landscape design, landscape features, and regional plant lists. American Home Landscapes is the only book designers need to design and modernize a historically inspired garden.

his era opens with the country at war. The Civil War would continue to occupy the nation’s heart and soul for four long years. Landscape design and garden making were not at the forefront of the national consciousness during the 1860s; economic times were difficult following the war, and major depressions in 1873 and 1893 left many people unemployed. Still, there was rapid growth in the areas of industry and transportation, which contributed to a boom in housing. As the years passed, more and more enthusiasm was directed toward the making of functional—and ornamental—landscapes: “Decorative Planting [is] the art of picture making and picture framing, by means of the varied forms of vegetable growth” (Scott 1870).
Queen Victoria of England reigned from 1837 to 1901, and her name is used to describe the American architectural style of buildings constructed between 1860 and 1900. Victorian architecture took advantage of trends and changes in housing construction techniques and the increased range of transportation options. Structures featured multifaceted shapes and details derived from classical and medieval prototypes. Second Empire, Queen Anne, Folk Victorian, and Richardsonian Romanesque are all sub-styles of Victorian architecture. Most people recognize Queen Anne houses as those with bay windows. Towers are an imposing feature of some, and most have porches with finely turned supports. The walls might have different types of siding, giving Queen Anne houses a multitextural appearance. Folk Victorian houses are simpler examples of the Queen Anne style; the house is much less ornate and the main recognizable feature is the porch with spindlework and trim. The main distinguishing feature of Second Empire architecture—so named because it imitated French style during the reign of Napoleon III, France’s “Second Empire”— is the mansard roof, a dual-pitched hipped roof with dormer windows on a steep lower slope. Second Empire houses were particularly popular in the Midwest and on the East Coast between 1860 and 1880. Houses in the Richardsonian Romanesque style, named for noted Boston architect Henry Hobson Richardson, are always of masonry and usually feature stonework. A wide, rounded arch at each entryway is another key feature. This style was used more often for commercial buildings than for private residences; it reached the height of its popularity in the 1890s.

INduSTRIALIzATIoN IN uRBAN areas motivated those who could afford it to move where the air was cleaner—farther away from the city centers. Frank J. Scott of Toledo, ohio, was one of the first landscape architects to work with these new “suburban” properties. He is often credited with instilling in Americans an appreciation for the lawn as a symbol of community, an “emerald carpet” connecting the residences in a neighborhood. His 1870 design classic, The Art of Beautifying Suburban Home Grounds of Small Extent, inspires gardeners to this day.

Landscape Design Judging from the prominence of gardening books and magazines that not only continued to circulate but proliferated during these four decades, an avalanche of information was offered to the residents of houses, large and small, with the message that one should make a plan for one’s residence and then implement it. Although most of the literature dealt with residential landscapes of varying sizes and locations, there was an increased awareness of the need for guidelines for smaller urban and suburban properties. Landscape design continued to illustrate the principal ideals of Andrew Jackson Downing: that is, the juxtaposition of an informal, ornamental area with geometric beds for functional plantings like vegetables, fruits, and herbs. In Downing’s time, the geometric beds would be at the rear of the house; beside them would be a yard for drying clothes and any other service areas, including privy. In Victorian landscapes, however, geometric beds for ornamentals were also inserted in the midst of more naturalistic plantings at the front of the house—the adage “more is better” was the rule of the day. Historians in recent years have criticized the gaudy nature of the Victorian landscape; but even the designers of the period seem to have been aware of a cultural penchant for excessive ornamentation, and cautionary advice crops up everywhere in their writings. Scott (1870) illustrates two landscapes, one that shows restraint in its use of plants and the other that in ten years will be a “mass of agglomerated and tangled verdure.” Scott and others recommended that trees and shrubs should play an important role in helping to screen undesirable vistas, provide all-season decoration, and delineate property boundaries. Every designer urged the placement of at least one large tree for shade in the front yard, often mentioning the purple-leaved variety of beech (Fagus sylvatica ‘Purpurea’). The challenge then as now was to be familiar with the plant materials and to know and understand their growth habits and mature size. Many landscape designs also featured at least one weeping tree, often a weeping willow (Salix babylonica) or a weeping beech (F. sylvatica ‘Pendula’). A porch covered in vines and climbing plants was a common feature of the residences; a porch might even have supported several different vines—wisteria, clematis, a climbing rose—grown together. Porches were also important as a place to grow more plants, in containers that ranged from tin cans to elaborate urns to rustic baskets. Hanging baskets, containing a mixture of colorful and trailing plants, also adorned porches. The Boston fern (Nephrolepis exaltata) so often associated with Victorian parlors was introduced into cultivation in the late nineteenth century and did not become

THE PROFESSIONAL DESIGNER’S GUIDE TO GARDEN FURNISHINGS
• How to successfully communicate with clients and vendors
Vanessa Gardner Nagel
Gardens are more than plants, paths, and walls. To provide a truly useful, restful space, they also need chairs, benches, arbors, trellises, containers, artwork, fire pits, and gazebos chosen specifically with the needs of each unique space in mind. The Professional Designer’s Guide to Garden Furnishings provides both visual inspiration and practical application so garden designers can confidently make smart choices based on their client’s tastes and needs. This comprehensive guide includes an overview of design, an exploration of how furnishing links to architecture, and sound advice about communicating with clients and vendors. It also explores in detail all the material choices available, including wood, metal, textiles, wicker, ceramics, stone, glass, concrete, and synthetics. This guide is indispensable to garden designers, landscape architects, and decorators.
Furnishings have a big impact on a small space (top left). This thought-provoking garden includes a bar-coded backdrop of synthetic material (top right). Hard surfaces are softened by colorful fabrics (bottom left). Coordinating the color of the home and the garden furniture (bottom right).

PLANTS FROM TEST TUBES, FOURTH EDITION
• The essential guide to growing plants from tissue culture • Considered the seminal book in the field on plant propagation
AN INTRODUCTION TO MICROPROPAGATION
Lydiane Kyte, John Kleyn, Holly Scoggins, and Mark Bridgen Acclaimed as the most practical guide to plant tissue culture and widely adopted as a textbook, this seminal work is better than ever. The new edition of Plants from Test Tubes has been revised and expanded to include developments in biotechnology, such as genetic engineering and cell culture, and introduces both the global and commercial impact of plant tissue culture. It provides detailed recipes for propagating plants from more than 30 plant families and explains how to set up a propagating laboratory.
Placing the cutting in the growing medium (top). Plant cells multiplying in a sterile culture (bottom). OF RELATED INTEREST:
LYDIANE KYTE (1919–2008) built a
plant tissue culture program for Briggs Plant Propagators in Washington State, an international leader in micropropagation and now the largest ornamental plant tissue culture laboratory in the United States. Later, she and her husband developed their own micropropagation business and served as consultants to laboratories in Brazil and Egypt.
