Though Thomas discovers he can’t wield a hammer or an ax, there is a local boy, Manny—a sweet soul of eighteen without a family of his own—who agrees to manage the fields in exchange for room and board. Their optimism and desire carry them through the early days.But the sudden, frightening birth of Thomas and Helen’s daughter, Elise, changes something deep inside their marriage. And then, in the aftermath of a tragic accident to which only Manny bears witness, suspicion, anger, and regret come to haunt this shattered family. It is a legacy Elise will inherit and struggle with, until she ultimately finds a hope of her own.

Covina, California [Images of America Series] $21.99 Covina began as a coffee plantation carved out of Rancho La Puente, which John Rowland had purchased from California’s Mexican government. Rowland later shared the land with his friend and partner William Workman, and after Rowland’s death, his widow, Charlotte, sold 5,500 acres to Julian and Antonio Badillo, on which they attempted unsuccessfully to grow coffee. Joseph Swift Phillips purchased 2,000 acres of the Badillo land, subdivided the tract, and laid out Covina’s town site. Covina came to grow, process, and ship eight percent of California’s citrus, transforming into a farming community that was neither rural nor urban. Residents established cultural, social, and civic organizations, founded a scientific study group and a literary society, and even built an opera house. |

Paradise under Glass: An Amateur Creates a Conservatory Garden $9.99 Like many baby boomers in middle age, Ruth Kassinger was at an emotional crossroads. Confronted with the death of a beloved sister, her children’s departure for college, and her own recent battle with breast cancer, she was searching for a way forward. One cold, gray evening, flooded with thoughts of change and loss, she wandered into the U.S. Botanic Garden’s conservatory—and a dream was born. Dazzled by the vast and dense tangle of greenery, she began a quest to create a verdant sanctuary of her own at her home in suburban Washington, D.C. Yet all she knew of indoor gardening was a lone, neglected houseplant at the top of her basement stairs. Paradise Under Glass chronicles her journey from brown thumb to green—a project that takes her across the country. Along the way she meets commercial growers with acres under glass in Florida, a clivia hybridizer whose Delaware home is filled with thousands of specimens, a beneficial bug grower in California, entrepreneurs in Ohio who have a veritable Noah’s Ark of rare tropicals, and many others who share their enthusiasms and knowledge. Kassinger takes us step-by-step from the construction of her conservatory through her efforts to identify the easiest to grow, most beautiful houseplants. She combats pests, raises Monarch butterflies, and harvests kumquats and coffee beans. Her Garden of Eden is complete with a pint-sized pool and a “living wall” she invents. Kassinger’s journey to create her own tropical refuge is also a lively narrative tour of the glasshouses of the past, including Renaissance orangeries, the whimsical follies of Georgian England, the legendary Crystal Palace, and secluded Victorian ferneries. Throughout, she shares the knowledge and insights that creating and sustaining her garden has bestowed, lessons of loss and letting go, nurturing and rebirth, challenge and change, love and serenity.

Pike Place Market $0.01 In 1907, Seattle”s farmers and shoppers were angry. The former were being cheated by middlemen, the latter objected to the high price of onions. A city experiment to connect the two groups was proposed, and thus was born the Pike Place Market. One hundred years later, the Market still exemplifies the farm-to-table experience. Its nine acres are home to an amazing array of fresh meat, produce, and fish. What”s more, there”s even marvelous spice shops, fantastic florists, a Shoe Museum, and a hardware store. This is where Starbucks first tested the nutty idea of gourmet coffee and where Sur la Table sold its first stockpot. Officially commemorating the Market”s centennial, this delightful book is packed with fascinating historical images, seasonal shopping lists, and pointers to lesser known spots. It tells the story of the place rightfully known as The Soul of Seattle, its quirky, colorful past, and its vibrant presence in today”s sophisticated city. |

On the arrival of the Mission party in October 1876, the first thing in the way of gardening was the selection of a small piece of ground in which to sow a small quantity of vegetable seeds. A gardener fresh from home is very apt to look for soil GARDENING BEGUN. 61 such as he has been accustomed to. He feels the need of a little leaf-mould, wonders if turf can’t be had; and the compost to be completed would be all right if he only had a little of that silver sand he saw on the Zambesi and Shire. Let him at once give up the idea of expecting to find anything just so suitable, and make the best of what he has. Leaf-mould is to be had by collecting the decayed leaves and vegetation along the banks of streams; but it is often worthless stuff, with little or no strength in it, and parts readily with |
