Christmas Trees: Growing and Selling Trees, Wreaths, and Greens

6 reviews
Lewis Hill

Storey Publishing, LLC, 1989

The BEST book on this subject!
Although this book seems more designed to educate the novice at growing Christmas trees, I believe everyone, even people currently in this business, can learn something valuable from it. It is well written and enjoyable to read, plus informative in that it describes all sorts of trees used, planting methods, protection and care of seedlings and transplants, recommendations for planting ...

Practical Techniques: For Language Teaching

2 reviews
Michael Lewis, Jimmie Hill

Language Teaching Publications, 1985

It just makes sense!
We used this as our main text in a teacher training program and it is straightforward and clear. It is full of helpful tips like: "Teach the students, not the book." "Don't overcorrect." "Nothing is "interesting" if you can't do it." and my own favorite" "Don't flog a dead horse." Each chapter has a checklist to check before reading the chapter for the reader to check what you may have learned ...

Great Quick Reference Book
Fairly comprehensive and one of the best books I've seen. Has all the basic information on how to get started in gardening from soil considerations, space, and fertilizing to tree pruning, pests, and small orchard management. Great reference book for gardeners of any experience level. Covers brambles, vine fruits, strawberries, bush fruits, fruit trees, and nut trees. Wouldn't be without it.

Pictures are worth one thousand words!
I like this book so much - this is the third copy I have purchased this year! (I keep giving my copy away to family members who desperately need it.) The black line drawings are what keep bring me back to this one book for all of our pruning needs. We have berry bushes (some wild and some we planted ourselves), flowering shrubs, fruit trees, a bonzi tree, a dogwood, grape vines, 3 old Oaks ...

Home Gardener
I really like this book. I love to grow plants from seeds and this book helps me understand how that works and how I can grow even more things from seeds. As well as grafting and other techniques I've never tried. It is a bit technical, but I am only a home gardener so it's pretty easy to work out.

The Lawn & Garden Owner's Manual

Lewis Hill, Nancy Hill

Storey Publishing, LLC, 2000

A must have!
This book is a must have, especially if you do NOT know where to begin with your lawn and garden or are unsure of what to do or how to do it. It is very well organized and does not over-whelm you with too much information at one time. Yet, it teaches you how to do to it all. I have been through almost every lawn/garden book on the market for help and none come close in quality to this one.

Fetched-Up Yankee: A New England Boyhood Remembered
Lewis Hill

Globe Pequot Pr, 1990

When Lewis Hill first walked to school in 1930, it was to a one-room schoolhouse with no running water. "The nearest electricity," he writes "was about ten years away." He and his schoolmates had never seen a paved road, a fire truck, or a tractor. While Hitler was remaking the map of Europe, their tattered geography books were pre-World War I. By focusing on his neighbors, his family, and the small details of everyday life, Hill shows how the ...
