In this book, Scottish gardeners will find accurate information and hundreds of plants ideally suited to where they live.Scotland is one of the best places in the world to garden. Its maritime climate, ample rainfall, and the rarity of severe droughts and really hot weather mean that huge numbers of plants grow well there.But the climate varies considerably - from the colder, wetter, windier mountainous areas to the west coast where tender plants can be grown outdoors all year round - and choosing plants that are suited to the local conditions is critical to success.Kenneth Cox and Raoul Curtis-Machin have evaluated the performance of thousands of plants in gardens all over Scotland, drawing on the knowledge and experience of many gardeners and nurserymen, and in this book they describe - with over 800 photographs - the most reliable shrubs, conifers, trees, fruit and perennials for Scotland.In this book Scottish gardeners will find a wealth of accurate information and hundreds of great plants ideally suited to where they live.

In The Master's Steps by Kenneth Cox This book is written to share some of the beliefs that Jesus taught as he walked through the cities and villages of Galilee. Many of these teachings have been lost sight of, for in today's society, a person can believe almost anything and still claim to be a Christian. Would people be surprised to hear that you profess to be a follower of Christ? Do you really know what Jesus taught? Are you sure?We are admonished in the Scripture to "e;walk even as he walked"e;. In order to do so, you must be willing to follow in his footsteps. By his example, you can know that "e;this is the way walk ye in it"e;. Your heart will rejoice in the blessings and promises that Christ gave as you walk in the Masters steps

Sitting in the middle of the camp of Israel was the tabernacle, which was the center of their everyday life. Every facet from the daily services, the annual feast, the offerings they brought, to the building itself, all pointed to the Lamb of God. All this they accepted by faith. The plan of salvation has not changed. Just as they looked forward, by faith, to his first coming, we look back, in faith, to his life and death in our behalf, and forward, in faith, to the promise of his second coming. Therefore, there are great lessons to be learned from these object lessons God gave the children of Israel. Because the demands of life are so great, I have tried to make this book pure and simple.

'The publishers are to be congratulated for their exemplary production' - Curtis's Botanical Magazine'...this will go down as one of the greats of plant exploration literature...' - Roy Lancaster 'The appeal of the book lies as much in Ward's prose as in the thrilling story of exploration and discovery.

Through it twists the Yarlong Tsangpo, Tibet's great river, emerging from below on the plains of India. This is the story of its exploration and the rich plant and animal life found there. Riddle of the Tsangpo Gorges, first published in 1926, is the fascinating account of plant-hunter and explorer Frank Kingdon Ward's most important expedition. Kenneth Cox, Kenneth Storm, Jr. and Ian Baker spent over ten years retracing the route of the 1924-25 expedition and managed to reach further into this magical and only partly explored land. The book contains the original Kingdon Ward text and extensive additional material, including a history of the exploration, geography and religious significance of the area and more than 250 colour photographs with detailed captions on the plants of the area, most of which are described by Kingdon Ward in the original text. There are first person accounts of expeditions to the area by Kenneth Cox and Kenneth Storm. Jr. and a photographic essay documents, for the first time in a book, the new Hidden Falls located in the portion of the gorge left unexplored by Frank Kingdon Ward and Lord Cawdor in 1924.
