THINK SPRING

Get Ready! Get Set! Now altogether, lets "THINK SPRING."  If we do this enough times, perhaps (well,...just maybe..you never know) the sun will shine more, the soil will warm up, and we can soon get outside and begin our garden clean-up followed by planting those new crops of vegetables and flowers. (And if this doesn't happen "soon," we can be assured that it will happen "later.")

So while we're waiting for this miracle to happen, there are lots of good gardening books on the Bullis shelves that we can look through for ideas and inspiration. Here's just a few:

Bush Fruits by Fred Card (1920)
Lilac Culture by John Wister (1930
The Clematis by Thomas Moore (1877)
Plant Breeding by L. H. Bailey (1906)
Daffodils by Joseph Jacob (?)
Grafting & Budding by Luther Burbank (1921)
Sweet Peas by Horace Wright (?)
The Book of the Iris by Irwin R. Lynch (1904)
Notes on Tulip Species by W. R Dykes (1930)

Please consider this your gilt edge invitation to stop by the Bullis Room and spend some time with a few of these books. And let's all continue to "THINK SPRING."
