The story of how two very different women worked together as Union spies during the Civil War. Elizabeth Van Lew (a.k.a.

 | Autumn Gardens by Ethne Clark, Jonathan Buckley
In autumn, although plants have reached maturity, they are far from finished; in this glorious season, leaf color, structural seed heads, tawny fading grasses, and ripened fruit take center stage. Autumn Gardens opens up a whole new range of planting and design opportunities for the enthusiastic gardener. The first section, which looks at color and form, shows how to get the best from the season by focusing on detail A section on harvesting reveals the autumn bounty found in wooded areas, hazelnut walks, and orchards, where crab apples, currents, and well-trained fruit make a beautiful display. Beans, corn, squash, pumpkins, gourds, herbs, and seed heads on ripening plants add colorful brushstrokes to the overall picture. A look at framework considers the elements of garden planning and planting that slip from view during summer, but which hold the garden together. Section Two, On Hundred Great Autumn Plants, explores individual plants that excel in autumn, with descriptions and care advice for more than 100 high-performance plants. In small gardens, in particular, the value of being able to extend the garden's life for another three months is very attractive; here, you will find recommended plants for gardens of all sizes and styles and plenty of manageable planting schemes to keep life in the garden right through to the first frosts.
