righten up your spring season with two new books: Gardening
Month by Month in Michigan (Lone Pine Publishing, $15.95), by
Tim Wood and garden writer Alison Beck, and Roses for Michigan
(Lone Pine Publishing, $18.95), by rose specialist Nancy Lindley and gar-
den writer Laura Peters.
Gardening Month by Month in Michigan guides Michigan gardeners through
all of the state's seasonal variations. Each chapter covers a new month with
tips and information about annuals, perennials, trees, shrubs, houseplants,
fruits and vegetables. Weekly calendars are also included in each chapter
with insightful tips to keep the Michigan gardener on track throughout the
year.
Roses for Michigan, illustrated with more than 300 beautiful, full-color
photographs, begins with an easy-to-read introduction on anything and
everything you need to get your rose
garden started: important terminology
for the rose-grower, what to look for
when buying roses, how to plant and
care for roses, proper pruning tech-
niques, and how to deal with typical
problems that may arise. Following
these comprehensive tips and instruc-
tions, Roses showcases 144 of the best
roses for the Michigan gardener. The
roses are arranged alphabetically
according to the name they are most
commonly known by, and each entry
contains information pertinent to
growing and enjoying that specific
rose.
