Book excerpt: "One of the reasons for writing this book is to draw attention to the urgent necessity for the immediate adoption of efficient methods of protecting Moutan peonies in their natural habitat." -- P. 15. "In the Far East the tree peony is the flower at the head of the floral hierarchy, and is an important part of Chinese and Japanese cultural heritage.... This is the first time that photographs and descriptions of tree peonies found by the author growing wild on the Chinese mountains have been published.... The tree peony is difficult to propagate but, once established, it is practically indestructible...." -- Dust jacket.

Download or read book Passion for Peonies written by David Michener and published by University of MICHIGAN REGIONAL. This book was released on 2020-04-21 with total page 169 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There’s no more breathtaking signal of summer’s onset than the blooming of peonies. Stunningly beautiful and relatively easy to grow, peonies are a favorite flower everywhere they can be cultivated and for good reason: the heady fragrances and enchanting colors of a peony-rich display create an immersive experience that has enamored generations of garden lovers across the world. This passion is on full display each June at the historic Peony Garden of the University of Michigan’s Nichols Arboretum. Originally planted in 1922, the Nichols Arboretum Peony Garden now boasts North America’s largest public collection of heirloom herbaceous peonies. The Peony Garden has become a sacred space for the Ann Arbor community, a not-to-be-missed sensation when it erupts each season, as the Ann Arbor Observer once wrote, in “a riot of color, of crimson, rose and shell pink intermingled with fluffy pompoms of creamy white.” The rather short period of peak bloom—about two fleeting weeks each year—only seems to intensify the garden’s appeal, drawing thousands of visitors annually to this spectacular “living museum” on campus that showcases upwards of 10,000 blossoms. Richly illustrated with hundreds of striking color photos, Passion for Peonies collects short essays that celebrate the story of the Nichols Arboretum Peony Garden as well as the rich social history of peony gardening that it is an integral part of. Together these pieces comprise a love letter both to a magical public space at the University of Michigan and to the broader history and culture of peony gardening. The book will appeal to readers interested in the University of Michigan, the history of public gardens, and of course peonies!

Book excerpt: “A Way to Garden prods us toward that ineffable place where we feel we belong; it’s a guide to living both in and out of the garden.” —The New York Times Book Review For Margaret Roach, gardening is more than a hobby, it’s a calling. Her unique approach, which she calls “horticultural how-to and woo-woo,” is a blend of vital information you need to memorize and intuitive steps you must simply feel and surrender to. In A Way to Garden, Roach imparts decades of garden wisdom on seasonal gardening, ornamental plants, vegetable gardening, design, gardening for wildlife, organic practices, and much more. She also challenges gardeners to think beyond their garden borders and to consider the ways gardening can enrich the world. Brimming with beautiful photographs of Roach’s own garden, A Way to Garden is practical, inspiring, and a must-have for every passionate gardener.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Peonies, 1930 Our Tree Peonies have all been propagated on their own roots, and will not be a disappointment to the purchaser, like some of the grafted stock coming from the Orient, which is usually offered. The latter suckers freely, and if the graft dies there will be nothing left but the wild stock on which it was grafted. The habit of the Tree Peony is such that it positively should be on its own roots and allowed to sucker as much as it pleases, as this will increase the number of flowering stems and the circumference of the clump. No attempt should be made to confine it to a single stem. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
