Released posthumously, this book is not only a welcome addition to the Lawrence canon, but fills an important gap in the garden literature on the middle South.\u003cbr\u003eLawrence, in her usual exquisite prose, deals with the full range of rock gardening topics in this work. She addresses the unique problem of cultivating rock gardens in the South, where the growing season is prolonged and humidity and heat are not conducive to such planting. She describes her own experiences in making a rock garden, with excellent advice on placing stones, constructing steps, ordering plants, and making cuttings.\u003cbr\u003eAt the same time, what she writes about here is in large part of interest to gardeners everywhere and for gardens with or without rocks. As always, she thoroughly discusses the plants she has tried--recommending bulbs and other perennials of all sorts, annuals, and woody plants--with poetic descriptions of the plants themselves as well as specific and useful cultural advice. \u003ci\u003eA Rock Garden in the South\u003c\/i\u003e includes an encyclopedia of plants alphabetized by genus and species and divided into two parts: wood and non-woody plants.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eElizabeth Lawrence (1904-1985) wrote a popular gardening column for the \u003ci\u003eCharlotte Observer\u003c\/i\u003e from 1957 until 1971.
