  Hi Hermine,

  I am fully stressed to the limit here but think you are writing that it was Joleson (with the 'e'). Regardless, glad you got it listed.

  I find your comment:  "...each requiring an ISBN number or equal, or things which were too old to have one of 
  those and had to have the thing CREATED..." and I hope I am misreading it. International Standard Book Numbers (ISBN) are not created but assigned. I know this as I have some remaining from those I bought when I started Quisqualis Books so I could publish Bill Whitman's book Five Decades With Tropical Fruit. I use one of these numbers occasionally but as in the USA they have to be bought I have tried to keep several for projects that may develop. I can assist you in getting legitmate numbers if you desire. (No charge for the help but there is a fee for the numbers from Bowker).

  If you are tossing any plant books please consider sending me a PM and if I can scrape it up I'll send postage. (This I may regret as I have been thinking of dissolving my own library as I may not have a home to house it much longer). Still, if possible old books have value in the knowledge they contain.

  Hope your sales continue and increase,

  Bob

It should never be forgotten that I am a terrible typist and that 
often after finding I could not list something I had to go back and 
see that an ampersand (&) was needed instead of an "and" or the other 
way round. so yes.




No I meant the LISTING itself had to be created in AMAZON, not that 
an ISBN was newly assigned.



I think I have no idea what this means, and I am saying this 
cheerfully as I spent the morning loading up the last of my STUFF, 
never to have to do this again. until I have to do it again. I thank 
you for your assistance! < at >>----




Oh the only things which got tossed were either rained upon so that 
all pages were glued together or else more than half the book was 
eaten by a dog!




me, too because I feel MENTALLY ILL if orders do not come in. I 
noticed that there are some people who have much more time than I who 
lower a price a penny at a time, and will do this three times a day. 
I have stopped following them. for a while I was driven mad by the 
loading of books on Amazon, and then following up to see who was 
chipping away by pennies, but for now I have given up on that.

this is a finite resource like PETROLEUM because when these books are 
gone, they are GONE and I am not going back into the book biz. It was 
a side dish to the plant biz, and I plan to be only in the mail order 
plant biz for the future.

Somebody must have mislead you. Certainly you are allowed to announce 
that you have plants for sale, but what I discourage is the public 
haggling over price and details. Again let me invite anyone who has 
plants to sell or trade, or seed, cuttings and the like, to mention 
it here and if anyone is interested, write privately to the person 
offering the stuff.

Root Cellars in 18th & early 19th-century America

Posted: 08 May 2013 05:59 AM PDT

On the Use of Root Cellars

 From Bernard M'Mahon's 1806 American Gardener's 
Calendar. B. Graves, no. 40, North Fourth-Street, Philadelphia

Broccoli.

The early sown broccoli plants, should now be 
planted out into beds of good rich earth, in an 
open situation; the purple kind at two feet and a 
half distance, every way, and the white at the distance of three feet.

Broccoli seeds of both these kinds, as well as of 
any other variety which you would wish to 
cultivate, should be sown early in this month for 
a second principal crop, for winter and spring 
use. Sow them in a bed or border of rich earth, 
in an open exposure, each kind separate and rake them in regularly.

Marcia Neblett (American artist, b 1970) Broccoli Â© Copyright 2002

In the middle and eastern states, where the frost 
is too powerful, for the standing out of these 
plants during winter, on its approach, they must 
be taken up, and planted in earth up to their 
leaves, either in CELLARS, or under sheds, where 
they can be protected from wet and very rigorous 
frosts, and they will continue to produce their 
fine heads, during all the winter months ; which 
are equal to any cauliflowers. On the opening of 
spring, plant out the stalks of the purple kind, 
and they will produce abundance of the most 
delicious sprouts; the white, do not answer for that purpose.

These plants even if hung up in a CELLAR, would 
shoot forth their flowers or heads, pretty much about their usual time.

Forcing Asparagus

Hot-beds for forcing early asparagus, may be made 
any time this month, for which purpose you must 
be provided with proper plants; these are 
previously raised in the natural ground from 
seed, as hereafter directed, which being 
transplanted from the seed-bed into others duly 
prepared for their reception, and having two or 
three years growth there, they then are of the 
proper size and strength for forcing. But 
observe, that in those parts of the Union where 
the ground is subject at this season to be bound 
up by frost, previous precaution will be 
necessary, in order to secure a supply of plants 
when wanted for this purpose; therefore, before 
the setting in of the severe winter frost, cover 
a sufficient number in the beds wherein they are 
growing, with as much dry litter or leaves of 
trees, &c. as will effectually keep the ground 
from being frozen, so that you can remove it, and 
take up the plants conveniently when wanted.

Marcia Neblett (American artist, b 1970) Asparagus Â© Copyright 2002

Or you may, on the approach of severe frosts, 
take up a sufficient quantity with as little 
injury to the roots as possible, which may be 
planted in sand or dry earth in a warm CELLAR, in 
the same manner as directed for planting them in 
the frame, covering their crowns about an inch, 
observing not to croud the plants for fear of 
their becoming mouldy; and in mild weather 
ventilate the CELLAR as often as possible, to 
prevent any bad effect to the roots from stagnant 
air: but when it can be done, it will be much 
better to take up the plants out of their beds according as you want them.

The different pressings being mixed as you think 
proper, should be immediately put into clean 
casks or hogsheads, placed in a warm room or dry 
CELLAR, and filled to within two inches of the 
bungholes, which should be covered with pieces of 
cloth, laid loosely on, to prevent dirt from falling into the liquor.

Wine

When the 1iquor is drawn into clean sweet casks, 
place them in the CELLAR, fill them up within an 
inch or two of the top, and lay a piece of 
leather with a small weight on it over each 
bung-hole that may yield to a second 
fermentation, which generally takes place. When 
the wine has sealed or ceased to ferment, bung 
the casks as close as possible, and the 
subsequent treatment is exactly the same as directed for white wines.

A wine CELLAR should be dry, so deep under ground 
as that the temperature of it heat, may be nearly 
the same winter and summer: it should be at a 
distance from streets, highways, workshops, 
sewers and necessaries; if arched over, the better.

Fruits

According as the fruits are gathered, carry them 
into the fruitery, or into some convenient dry, 
clean, apartment, and lay them carefully in 
heaps, each sort separate, for about ten days, or 
two weeks, in order that the watery juices may 
transpire; which will make them keep longer, and 
render them much better for eating, than if put up finally as soon as pulled.

When they have lain in heaps that time, wipe each 
fruit, one after another, with a clean, dry 
cloth, and if you have a very warm dry CELLAR, 
where frost is by no means likely to enter, nor 
the place subject to much dampness; lay them 
singly, upon shelves, coated with dry straw, and 
cover them with a layer'of the same.

Another method, and a very good one, is to be 
provided with a number of large earthen jars, and 
a quantity of moss, in a perfectly dry state; and 
when the fruits are wiped dry as befort directed, 
your jars being also dry, lay therein layer about 
of fruit and moss, till the jars are near full, 
then cover with a layer of moss.

Suffer them to remain in this state for eight or 
ten days, then examine a stratum or two at the 
top to sec if the moss and fruits are perfectly 
dry; and if you find them in a good condition, 
stop the jars up with good cork plugs, and cover 
them with some melted rosin to keep out air. The 
pears and apples to be used this way should be of 
the latest and best keeping kinds, and such as 
are not, generally, fit for use till February, March, or April.

After the jars are sealed as above, place them in 
a warm dry CELLAR or room on a bed of perfectly 
dry sand, at least one foot thick ; and about the 
middle of November, or sooner if there is any 
danger to be apprehended from frost, fill up 
between the jars with very dry sand, until it is 
a foot thick round and over them. Thus you may 
preserve pears in the greatest perfection, for 
eight, or nine months, and apples twelve.

Be particularly careful to examine every fruit as 
you wipe it, lest it is bruised, which would 
cause it soon to rot and communicate the 
infection, so that in a little time much injury 
might be sustained, in consequence of a trifling 
neglect in the first instance: but above all 
things, place your fruit whatever way they are 
put up, completely out of the reach of frost.

Greenhouse Plants

The deciduous Green-house plants, such as the 
Lagerstramia indica, Punica grana, or double 
flowering pomegranate, Croton tebiferurn, or 
tallow-tree, &c. may be placed on a platform 
erected at the back of the stage, as noticed in 
page 82, or they may be preserved very well 
during the winter, in a dry warm CELLAR, that has 
windows to admit light, air, &c. as necessity may require.

Preserving Cabbages and Borecole, for Winter and Spring use.

Immediately previous to the setting in of hard 
frost, take up your cabbages and savoys, 
observing to do it in a dry day; turn their tops 
downward and let them remain so for a few hours, 
to drain off any water that may be lodged between 
the leaves; then make choice of a ridge of dry 
earth in a well sheltered warm exposure, and 
plant them down to their heads therein, close to 
one another, having previously taken off some of 
their loose hanging leaves. Immediately erect 
over them a low temporary shed, of any kind that 
will keep them perfectly free from wet, which is 
to be open at both ends, to admit a current of 
air in mild dry weather. These ends are to be 
closed with straw when the weather is very 
severe. In this situation your cabbages will keep 
in a high state of preservation till spring, for 
being kept perfectly free from wet as well as 
from the action of the sun, the frost will have 
little or no effect upon them. In such a place 
the heads may be cut off as wanted, and if 
frozen, soak them in spring, well, or pump water, 
for a few hours previous to their being cooked, 
which will dissolve the frost and extract any 
disagreeable taste occasioned thereby.

Marcia Neblett (American artist, b 1970) Cabbage Â© Copyright 2002

Some plant their cabbages, after being taken up 
and drained as above, in airy or well ventillated 
CELLARS, in earth or sand up to their heads, 
where they will keep tolerably well, but in 
close, warm, or damp CELLARS, they soon decay.

Others make a trench in dry sandy ground, and 
place the cabbages therein, after being well 
drained and dry, and most of their outside loose 
green leaves pulled off, roots upward, the heads 
contiguous to, but not touching each other; they 
then cover them with the dryest earth or sand 
that can be conveniently procured, and form a 
ridge of earth over them like the roof of a 
house; some apply dry straw immediately'round the 
heads, but this is a bad practice, as the straw 
will soon become damp and mouldy, and will of 
course communicate the disorder to the cabbages.

Upon the whole the first-method is in my opinion 
the most preferable, as there is no way in which 
cabbages will keep better, if preserved from wet; 
and besides, they can be conveniently obtained, 
whenever they are wanted for use

The green and brown curled borecole being very 
hardy, will require but little protection; they 
may now be taken up and planted in a ridge 
tolerably close together, and during severe frost 
covered lightly with straw, this will preserve 
them sufficiently, and during winter the heads 
may be cut off as they are wanted for use; the 
stems if taken up and planted in rows, as early 
in March as the weather will admit, will produce 
abundance of the most delicious sprouts.

In the southern states, and even in warm, soils 
and exposures in the middle states, borecole will 
stand the winter in open beds without any covering whatever.

Cauliflowers and Broccoli

Your late cauliflowers, and broccoli, will now be 
producing their heads; therefore it will be 
necessary to break down some of the largest 
leaves over the flowers, to preserve them from 
the effects of sun, rain, and frost.

Italian Botanical Print

Such plants of either sort as are not likely to 
flower before the commencement of severe frost, 
should be taken up and planted as recommended in 
the first instance for cabbages, where if well 
protected from wet and frost, they will continue 
to produce fine flowers all winter.

Or they may be planted in a dry warm CELLAR in 
the same manner as directed for cabbages, where 
they will also flower in winter; indeed I have 
had tolerable good flowers from strong plants.

Preserving Turnips, Carrots, Parsneps, Beets, and Salsafy.

Previous to the commencement of severe frost, you 
should take up with as little injury as possible, 
the roots of your turneps, carrots, parsneps, 
beets, salsafy, scorzonera, Hamburg or large 
rooted parsley, skirrets, Jerusalem artichokes, 
turnep-rooted celery, and a sufficiency of 
horse-radish for the winter consumption; cut off 
their tops and expose the roots for a few hours 
till sufficiently dry. On the surface of a very 
dry spot of ground in a well sheltered situation, 
lay a stratum of sand two inches thick, and on 
this a layer of roots of either sort, covering 
them with another layer of sand (the drier the 
better) and so continue layer about of sand and 
roots till all are laid in, giving the whole on 
every side a roof-like slope; then cover this 
heap or ridge all over with about two inches of 
sand, over which lay a good coat of drawn straw 
up and down as if thatching a house, in order to 
carry off wet and prevent its entering to the 
roots; then dig a wide trench round the heap and 
cover the straw with the earth so dug up, to a 
depth sufficient to preserve the roots 
effectually from frost. An opening may be made on 
the south side of this heap, and completely 
covered with bundles of straw so as to have 
access to the roots at all times, when wanted either for sale or use.

Some people lay straw, or hay, between the layers 
of roots and immediately on the top of them; this 
I do not approve of, as the straw or hay will 
become damp and mouldy, and very often occasion 
the roots to rot, while the and would preserve them sweet and sound.

All these roots may be preserved in like manner 
in a CELLAR; but in such a place they are subject 
to vegetate and become stringey earlier in 
spring. The only advantage of this method is, 
that in the CELLAR they may be had when wanted, 
more conveniently during winter, than out of the field or garden heaps.

Note. All the above roots will preserve better in 
sand than in common earth, but when the former 
cannot be bad, the sandiest earth you can procure must be dispensed with.

Celery, Endive, and Cardcons

Continue during the early part of this month to 
blanch your Celery, endive and cardoons, as 
directed in the preceding months; but when the 
severe frosts approach, they must be preserved 
therefrom, either in the following or some other 
more convenient and effectual manner.

Every third row of the celery may be suffered to 
stand where growing, opening a trench on each 
side of every standing row, within six or eight 
inches thereof, for the reception of the plants 
of the other two rows, which are to be carefully 
taken up with as little injury as possible either 
to their tops or roots, and planted in those new 
trenches, in the same order as they formerly 
stood. The whole being thus planted, three rows 
together, they are to be earthed up near the 
extremities of their leaves, and as soon as the 
frost becomes pretty keen, in a very dry day 
cover the whole with straw, and over this a good coat of earth.

When this plan is intended, the celery should in 
the first instance be planted in rows, east and 
west, so that when the whole is covered for 
winter use as above, the south side, especially 
if protected a little with straw, &c. may be 
easily opened to take out the plants when wanted for use.

Or if you have the convenience of a deep 
garden-frame, you may almost fill it with fresh 
sand, and then take up and plant therein, so 
close as nearly to touch one another, a quantity 
of your best and largest celery, and so deep as 
to be covered within five or six inches of their 
tops; place on yeur glasses, immediately, and 
suffer neither rain or water to reach the plants, 
except a very gentle shower, occasionally, in warm weather.

When severe frosts set in, lay dung, tan, leaves 
of trees, or other litter round the sides and 
ends of the frame, and cover the glasses with 
mats, be. sp as to keep out the frost. By this 
means you can have celery during winter in the 
greatest perfection and as convenient as you could desire.

Or celery may now be taken up when dry, well 
aired, and planted in sand in a dry CELLAR, in 
the same manner as directed for planting it in 
the frame; observing, in either case, to lay up 
the stalks and leave neat and close, and to do as 
little injury to either as possible.

The beds of celery which were planted as directed 
in page 433, should, in the early part of this 
month, be earthed up to within six or eight 
inches of the tops of the plants, tnd on the 
approach of hard frost, additionally earthed to 
the very extremities of their leaves; then lay a 
covering of dry sandy earth on the top of each 
bed, the whole length, so as to give it a 
rounding; on this, place a coat of dry straw, 
drawn and laid on advantageously to cast off the 
wet, and of a sufficient thickness to effectually 
resist the frost; after which cut a trench round 
the bed to carry off and prevent any lodgement of 
water. Here you can have access to your celery, 
and it will continue in a high state of 
preservation during the whole winter and early spring months.

Endive may be preserved in a frame, or CELLAR, as directed for celery.

Cardoons may be preserved either in sand in a 
CELLAR, or by banking up a sufficiency of earth 
to them where they grow, and covering the tops, &c. with straw or long litter.

N. B. All the above work must be performed in dry 
weather and when the plants are perfectly free 
from wet, otherwise they will be very subject to rot.

Forcing Asparagus

This is a very proper time to begin to force asparagus in hotbeds

You should now, previous to the setting in of 
hard frost, cover the asparagus-beds, containing 
the plants which you intend to force during the 
ensuing months, with as much straw, or light 
litter of some kind, as will prevent the ground 
from becoming frozen, so that you can take up the 
roots with convenience and without injury when 
wanted. This method is preferable to taking them 
up and depositing them in a CELLAR, in sand or 
earth, which is practised by some gardeners.

I have found that autographed things do not get you much on Amazon. 
they are best marketed in specialty venues. Tangerine Dream plays 
like a new record.

It is BAFFLING. I am currently unable to locate a listing on Amazon 
for "The Best Of Joleson" and find it hard to believe that this is so 
rare they do not already have a listing, because when they do not 
already HAVE a listing you have to crawl through burning hell in 
order to create one, which it turns out they really DO have already.

I went into the search next to the Endangered Species name on the left of the main screen, typed 'books'.  I'll try again for a different search.  Hmm.

WHAT CAN BE WRONG? I almost killed myself cataloguing these things. Someof them did not have ISBN numbers and had to be created. 

Tell me how did you locate the number 47 for books?

Oh the search engine of Amazon is very baffling. INDEED. Unless you 
are looking for a specific item and even then, it is not kind like 
Google, which will look for things which you have not quite spelled right.

I have over six hundred plant related books I estimate.

The word 'garden' gave 124 hits.
