I just purchased the other day a new book, entitled,Restoring American Gardens: An Encyclopedia of Heirloom Ornamental Plants,1640 to 1940, by Denise Wiles Adams, published by Timber Press.

I bought it for 10.00 at TJMAXX. It has a lot of illustrations and information on plants
and seed companys of the period.There is a lot of information on all kinds of plants. I haven't started reading it yet, but plan to over the Easter holiday.

I'll let you all know what I thought of it when I get a chance, but it looks very interesting.

Well I still haven't read the book yet, but I'll look it over this evening since I don't have to work at TJMAXX tonight.
But it does indeed look interesting.
I try to be on the lookout for books on gardening of the period.

Also, The Antique Rose Emporium has a website
and several nurseries here.One is near Bracken
and close to me, the main one is in Brenham,Tx
and they have another one elsewhere in the state.
