When it is so hot outside you can’t garden, I recommend improving your gardening knowledge by reading. Here are some book reviews. My favorite is Sunset’s Western Garden Book. There is more information in it than anyone can absorb. I refer to it as often as I refer to my Bible—in fact I consider it my "Gar- dening Bible". I recommend these three books on roses, besides the American Rose Magazine which I receive with my American Rose Society member- ship, A Rose by Any Name, The Little-Known Lore and Deep-Rooted History of Rose Names by Douglas Brenner & Stephen Scanniello is fun and informative; same goes for Pink Ladies & Crimson Gents—Portraits & Legends of 50 Roses by Molly & Don Glentzer. A 3rd is Old Roses & Eng- lish Roses by the renowned rose breeder David Austin. Garden Club President Sharon Kessey added a book review to our month- ly Friends & Flowers newsletter. Sharon’s read- ing is boundless. In January she wrote: The 1997 edition of Clas- sic Roses: An Illustrated Encyclopedia and Grow- er’s Manual of Old Roses, Shrub Roses and Climbers, by Peter Beales, is in the Red Bluff Library; includes descriptions and photos of about 1000 old roses; a height and color chart; many ideas for how to use roses; and chapters on cultivation, propagation and planting techniques, and pest and disease con- trols. In February she reviewed Butterfly Gar- dening: Creating Summer Magic in Your Garden by the Xerces Society & The Smithsonian Institution; with chapters by ten dif- ferent authors who provide information on how and why to attract butterflies, garden designs ideas, pho- tos, etc. The appendix lists nec- tar plants and specific but- terflies and what plants they need. In March Sharon wrote: "The fictional mystery sto- ries about herbalist and ex- lawyer China Bayles, by Susan Wittig Albert, Lavender Lies, Thyme of Death, Rosemary Remem- bered, Mistletoe Man, etc, incorporate some medici- nal and therapeutic uses of plants, include occasional delicious-sounding recipes, and give informa- tion about growing and using herbs." April’s review was on Gardening When It Counts: Growing Food in Hard Times by Steve Solomon, the founder of Territorial Seeds. It has loads of information on water, seeds, insects and diseases, how to sharpen tools, and much more, plus drawings of roots, and analysis of many com- monly-grown vegetables and how best to grown and store them. Gardening and reading what more can you want.

Aviators Badly Mistaken On Fire Lieutenant Coward and Observer Robie scouted the Lassen reserve for forest fires this morning and returned to base here shortly before noon when they discovered a fire on Washington street in city limits and horrors right in front of the fire house ... What they did find (flying closer) was that Red Lewis had gone to sleep sitting in a chair in front of city hall. His hat had dropped off, allowing a gentle breeze to rustle his auburn locks to the extent that it emulated a flame. – Daily News, June 17, 1920 fifth generation Tehama County resident and member of the first class of graduates from the Red Bluff High Natural Resource program held at the Mendocino National Forest’s Red Bluff Recreation Area.
