Adventures of a young gang of English lads running loose in the 19th century countryside, striving to survive and prosper from a life of crime.

Dark Tales of Mischief

When the International Coleus was founded several years ago, we immediately became devoted to cataloging not only new cultivars but fully studying the older material. Today we have over 1584 different named cultivars on file. This volume is Part II of the our new Consolidated Cultivar Reference, covering both detailed descriptions, histories, identification tips, and large (1000-1250 pixel wide) high-resolution digital images. Part II covers cultivars P to Z and covers 210 pages with more than 43.7 megabytes of content. We also have more scanned nursery catalogs from the past to document the history of the old or heirloom clones. Hundreds of hours of society member time was required to produce each volume.

Acanthus to Aurinia. This 272 page volume for genera starting with A is larger than many perennial books for all genera.

Written by horticultural taxonomist Larry Hatch over more than 35 years, Hatch's Perennials was designed to be the ultimate guide to hardy herbaceous cultivars not found in other established manuals and references. Descriptions are cultivar specific (not general for a species), images large and digital, and the history and origins of many cultivars are covered.

Version 3.1

Hatch's Perennials: Acanthus to Aurinia

Mark Summers

This is the November 2017 register of all new ornamental or landscape tree, shrub, conifer, and vine cultivar submitted or registered in the Open Registration Of Cultivars (OROC)(pronounded OH-rock) from 2013 to late 2017. OROC was formed to remedy the lack of an worldwide catalog of new cultivars because existing patent, trademark, and ICRA agencies barely account for 5% of the available new material. By reason, patented plants are only those likely to be very popular or from larger firms who can pay the free, not collector's items, most university items, nor smaller nurseries.

OROC Book VIII: 8.0

International Register of Ornamental Plant Cultivars: Woody Plants

This volume covers the cultivars of two major genera with detailed descriptions, original large digital images, history of cultivars, and sources links to new and rare material. There are 365 cultivars of Salvia and 266 of Sedum in this ground-breaking 95 page study of sage and stonecrop. More than 35 years ago, horticultural taxonomist Larry Hatch became frustrated with the lack of comprehensive information on the varieties of hardy herbaceous plants. He still is not satisfied and since that time has created annual updates to Hatch's Perennials to set the record straight. He took his work to several print publishers and not one wanted a perennial encyclopedia over 1200 pages due to the expense of being exhaustive, detailed, and including high-res, page-wide images for so many plants. The New Ornamentals Society and cultivar.org took him up on this challenge to create a much better perennial guide.

Hatch's Perennials: Salvia and Sedum

There are now officially 208 cultivars of Ginkgo biloba as registered by the Open Registration of Cultivars (OROC) project. This is the only volume published to date with all of them in great detail. This edition answers some questions like what did the original 'Fastigiata' in Philadelpha look like compared to modern material. Here are images of both and they are not the same. How do all the variegated and weeping clones compare? Hatch's Cultivars of Woody Plants was started more than 35 years when the author Larry Hatch noticed there were no complete cultivar listings of trees, shrubs, and vines as there had been in the past with authors like Krussman and Bean. Since that time, Mr. Hatch has worked every single week to update the files with no cultivars, improve older data, and this has results in over 4000 pages of very detailed, content
