I’m wondering what information you can give me about G. Guy Nearing, the Nearing Frame, and its use.
We don’t have any titles or subject headings in the catalog that refer to G. Guy Nearing or the Nearing Frame, but some of the books on propagation may describe it. Ken Druse mentions it briefly in Making More Plants (2000). Here is a link to information about the frame which I found by browsing Ken Druse’s blog. It refers to a book that we do have in the library:
“For detailed plans, see David Leach’s Rhododendrons of the World. For Guy Nearing’s original drawings and two-page patent application (1931), see the Summer, 2002 issue of the Journal of the American Rhododendron Society.”
