I'd like to recommend my favorite reference:

           "Ornamental SHRUBS for Canada" by Lawrence C.Sherk and Arthur R. 
Buckley   of the Ornamental Plant Section , Plant Research Institute, Research 
Branch, Canada Department of Agriculture , Ottawa, Ontario,1968.
            I have two copies garnered, from used bkstrs(One from 
Bellingham,Wa.) as a defense against over reaching garden enthusiasts who 
have failed to return earlier copies to my shelves!
           Another useful title might be 'The Annotated Checklist of Woody 
Plants of California, Oregon, and Washington, authored by Dr.E.Mc Clintlock 
and Prof.A.T.Leiser and published by the University of California.,1979.

            BTW, UCDavis has an excellent agricultural page available on the 
Web. 
            Good Luck and Happy New Year to all.

      Dennis

hello!I don't have the address for DGH as it has changed address recently. The
Caprine Supply Co. (P>O> Box y,33001 W 83rd St., DeSoto,Ks. 66018) Has
subscriptions for that, also United Caprine News, a good monthly newspaper, and
all sorts of good goat information and great goat stuff. Country Women by
Thomas is a great resource, also Raising Dairy Goats the Modern Way by Belanger
(editor of Countryside) is excellent. Good luck, from a goat farmer in the midd
le
of cow country!

"The Grafter's Handbook", R.J. Garner, Published in association with The
Royal Horticultural Society, Cassell, London, ISBN: 0-304-32172-9

"A classic text which has stood pre-eminent for 40 years." -Philip
McMillan Browse, Director of the Royal Horticultural Society's Gardens
at Wisley.

The Grafter's Hanbook, long established as *the* encyclopedia of plant
propagation by grafting, is updated once again in this new fifth
edition. Everything the dedicated amateur, the student, and the
professional horticulturist wants to know about grafting is to be found
in this book, clearly written in a concise and straightforward style,
the distillation of a lifetime's careful study and research. The
author's line drawings are complemented by well chosen photographs, and
a new Appendix on micrografting by Dr. O.P. Jones of the East Malling
Research Station completes the book.

R.J. Garner was for many years based at the East Malling Research
Station in Kent. His contribution to the knowledge, development and
teaching of grafting techniques over the period cannot be overestimated.
He long ago became *the* authority on his subject. The first and
subsequent editions of The Grafter's Handbook have been an indispensable
reference for gardeners and horticulturalists around the world for forty
years.

In the US, I got a new copy for about $20 from Sterling Publishing
Company, 900 Magnolia Avenue, Elizabeth, New Jersey, 07201. I don't have
a phone number for them, try directory assistance.
