1988réf. 00574scPortland Oregan: Timber Press 1988. Royal octavo full-color illus. boards hardcover 124 pp. Near-Fine with small smudge to ffep in a Fine As New dust jacket. Illus. in b&w full-color. “This book about orchids and orchid growing begins with a history of the first intorudction to Western horticulture more than 250 years ago and describes the difficult days of learning how to grow them. The main body of the book is concerned with the principles of growing propagating and caring for orchids in temperate regions. Discussions of the environmental conditions found where orchids grow in the wild help to give enthusiasts a clearer understading of the cultural needs of the plants under cultivation. Many of the orchids described in this book can be grown with success in a conservatory or on a windowsill others need rather more specific conditions that can be provided by a plant case or greenhouse. A brief look is also taken at orchids suitable for growing in the garden including those that can be grown in containers for summer display.In all Joyce Stewart describes well over 500 species and hybrids of this immense family. The carefully chosen colour illustrations and delightful historical prints show something of the amazing range and diversity of the ORchidaceae.” Timber Press, [1988]. hardcover books
