a clothing historian. In
addition to the Victorian
and Edwardian periods, she
has an extensive collection
of vintage clothing and
historical costuming from
past, as well as more
recent, times.

Recent royal watchers may
be pleased to 13ear about the
impending Victorian Fash-
ion Show featuring Lady
Carolyn, of Reno, at the
Quincy Veterans Hall May
14.
Lady Carolyn is an "edu-
tainer" with expertise in pe-
riod clothing and historical
costuming. She will present
her "genteel disrobe" be-
tween 3 and 4 p.m. to support

In a telephone conversa-
tion, her Ladyship said she
begins the presentation fully
dressed and removes the lay-
ers, explaining the purpose
of each.
She said customary day-
time wear for middle class
Victorian-era women could
add up to a lot of weight, con-
sidering the short clothes,
bustles, corsets, hoops and
other accoutrements re-
quired by Victorian propri-
ety.
Tickets for the show are

Gardening books at library
LIBRARY VIEWS
MARGARET MILES
County Librarian
It's spring at last, which
means that my daffodils are
in bloom. I love daffodils, be-
cause they are the only flower
that deer will not eat, and
they return every year by the
hundreds in my yard. Ironi-
cally, given the winter and
early spring we've had, this is
the first time in 15 years that
they haven't been snowed on.
I find spring here to be one
of the most exciting, and at
the same time one of the most
frustrating and depressing
seasons of the year. If you are
waiting impatiently, like I
am, until the end of May to
plant tomatoes, you'll under-
stand what I mean.
Whether you are new to
gardening in this area, or a
"seasoned" pro, the library
has some great books to help
your garden grow.
"Cold Climate Gardening" by
Rebecca Briccetti explains how
to select and grow the best veg-
etables and ornamental plants
for the North. She suggests ear-
lier maturing varieties of veg-
etables, and lists perennials,
roses, trees and shrubs that are
hardy in the coldest zones. In
addition, she offers many tips
for making the most of the short
season, as well as waYs to enjoy
your garden into the fall and
winter.
For gardeners specifically
interested in flowers, "Grow-
ing Roses in Cold Climates"
and "Growing Perennials in
Cold Climates" will make you
bloom with happiness. "Ros-
es" provides a rating system
for more than 700 rose vari-
eties, and many color illustra-
tions, to help you determine
what will grow best, and look
best, in your yard. Almost
2200 varieties of the 50 most
popular perennial groups are
covered in the second book,
which gives growing condi-
tions for each variety, and
lots of photographs. Plenty of
information on starting a
perennial garden, watering
tips, composting and winter
protection is also included.
Not a new book, but still
one of the best, is "What
Grows Here? Mountain Gar-
dening in Northern Califor-
nia (Where Growing Seasons
are Short and Winters are
Cold)," written by Carol
Young, a resident of the Lake
Almanor area. The revised
2005 edition covers basics of
gardening, and most impor-
tantly, extensive lists of
perennials, trees, vegetables
and bulbs which will grow
and thrive in Plumas, Lassen
and Sierra counties. Particu-
larly valuable is her list of
deer-resistant plants (nothing
is deer-proof except daffodils),
and her list of drought-toler-
ant plants.
Even "armchair gardeners"
can gain an appreciation for
what Diane Ackerman calls
• "the slowest of the perform-
ing arts." Ackerman's book,
"Cultivating Delight: A Nat-
ural History of My Garden,"
contains no photographs; in-
stead, this noted author and
poet paints her pictures with
words, describing season by
season the colors, scents and
sounds of her garden. With an
eye for even the smallest de-
tail, Ackerman's prose is an
observation and celebration
of everything in her yard,
from the heartbreaking beau-
ty of a rose, to the determined
squirrels that dig up her tulip
bulbs.
And she gives you plenty to
think about while you're wait-
ing to plant your tomatoes.
Concert offers sound healing
light and sound to tap into an
individual's sensory experi-
ence and create an elevated
state of healing and medita-
tion during her concerts.
These restorative concerts
feature precision tuned Ti-
betan bowls, bells, planetary
gongs and other v!brational
instruments creating a
"tonal bath." She also pro-
jects light forms of sacred
geometry bathing the audi-
ence in color' and moving
light. She tells the story of
these amazing instruments,
