Traditionally, bedding plants are those plants used to provide colour in summer garden beds. Although some writers include any herbaceous plant started under controlled environmental conditions and sold for outdoor use, embracing a number of fruit and vegetable crops, in this book ornamental bedding plants include tender herbaceous ornamental annuals and biennials only. As with other titles in this series, the aim of this book is to present scientific principles that underlie production practices. The author discusses traditional and plug methods of production, the latter having revolutionized mass market production during the last decade. The principles of propagation and growing on, including the role of nutrition and media, temperature, light, supplemental carbon dioxide and growth regulators, are described. Aspects of postproduction, diseases and pests, and mechanization, are also considered. There is also an appendix providing production guidelines for 15 major bedding plant species, including begonia, impatiens, petunia, marigolds and pansies. Written by one of America’s foremost horticultural scientists and writers, the book is invaluable for plant producers or growers, as well as for students of ornamental or amenity horticulture. - Häftad, Engelska, 2021

Young children are story machines. The simple act of growing up always results in unplanned adventures and missteps that are often wildly entertaining to the family. As parents, we cope with their antics at the time, laugh about them later, then forget them as new journeys begin. The Armitage children had more than their share of adventures and their stories served as entertainment for friends and family over the years. In this marvelous book, Allan has shared their stories. Many will bring back memories of children''s frolics, all will make you smile, and some will even result in spontaneous belly laughter. As delightful as the tales are, the wonderful illustrations make them come alive even more. Story telling is as old as time, and time stands still as we enjoy reliving our children''s youth.

In the tradition of his classic Herbaceous Perennial Plants, Allan M. Armitage has compiled descriptions and assessments of 245 genera of true annuals as well as plants that behave like annuals in USDA zones 1–7. Focusing on identifying the plants, successful culture, and their primary garden attributes, Armitage discusses 279 species in detail and summarizes the distinguishing features of hundreds of cultivars, many of which he has tested himself. Classics like begonias and pelargoniums are juxtaposed with newcomers from Australia, and all are subject to Armitage's critical eye. This book is only available through print on demand. All interior art is black and white.
