genus in the wild not just in Greece but in much of the Mediterranean region, has supported scientific work in DNA studies of each species within the genus, and has done responsible collecting with approval of and supervision by appropriate governmental agencies. I cannot recommend this booklet too highly. It is a gem. If you have any interest in the genus, and I cannot imagine anyone who doesn’t, buy it, read it, look at the pictures, which are carefully selected to support the text. Tell your fellow gardeners to buy it. Don’t lend it; you may never get it back! Join the Cyclamen Society and help support the important work they are doing in order to understand and to conserve this most delightful genus. Nancy Goodwin.

Taken while she worked for the Works Progress Administration (WPA) as a “junior publicity agent,” they were starkly black and white, depicting daily life of Southern men and women during the Depression, including their houses, fields, and gardens. One I particularly recall had daylilies in it. That was my first awareness of Welty as a photographer and it gave me the first hint that she was also a gardener. Eudora Welty (1909-2001) was born in Jackson, Mississippi, and was educated at Mississippi State Bookshelf 285
