The Liberty Hyde Bailey Gardener's Companion
\"Every family can have a garden.\" -Liberty Hyde Bailey
Finally, the best and most accessible garden writings of perhaps the most influential literary gardener of the twentieth century have been brought together in one book. Philosopher, poet, naturist, educator, agrarian, scientist, and garden-lover par excellence Liberty Hyde Bailey built a reputation as the Father of Modern Horticulture and evangelist for what he called the \"garden-sentiment\"-the desire to raise plants from the good earth for the sheer joy of it and for the love of the plants themselves. Bailey's perennial call to all of us to get outside and get our hands dirty, old or young, green thumb or no, is just as fresh and stirring today as then.
Full of timeless wit and grace, The Liberty Hyde Bailey Gardener's Companion collects essays and poems from Bailey's many books on gardening, as well as from newspapers and magazines from the era. Whether you've been gardening for decades or are searching for your first inspiration, Bailey's words will make an ideal companion on your journey.

Dial M for martagons
The bulbs are expensive. [H W Hyde] charges 27.50 for a beauty such as \"Sarcee\" (darkest red, with heavily reflexed petals). If you've not grown martagons before, it would be wise to substitute \"Russian Red\", which you can get for 4.50 a bulb. That's still not cheap, but price does not seem to be a bar where besotted martagon-lovers are concerned. The most expensive varieties on the Hyde website - beautiful mauve \"Bethan Evans\" (14.50), \"Bronze Beauty\" (23.50), cream-coloured \"Cascading Beauty\" (27.50) - seem to be the ones that sell out first. \"Bethan Evans\" is one of many lovely new martagon lilies bred by Dr Ieuan Evans, who grew up in a fishing village on the Welsh coast but who has spent most of his working life in Canada. How, though, could he ever have thought that it was worth bothering with a pollen-free variety such as white \"Megan Evans\"? A lily without its pollen-covered stamens is a poor, castrated creature. And when the lily has deeply reflexed flowers, as the best of the martagons do, much of their grace and beauty comes from the contrast of the stamens sweeping out between the rolled-back petals. * Summer pruning encourages fruiting spurs. Winter pruning stimulates leaf growth. Some heavy watering may be necessary to help fruit reach maximum potential. Apples such as \"Ellison's Orange\", which tend to fruit too heavily, should be thinned out again if necessary. Early varieties such as \"George Cave\" are ready for picking now.
