Chilling Hours

I have never grown perennials in pots before! This year I have Red Root, Rocky Mountain Columbine, Kinnikinnick, Spearmint, Blackberries, strawberries. I have no idea how to overwinter them. Still learning.

This woman is in 6a (Chicago) and I am in 6b, so pretty close. She goes over how to overwinter plants and fruit trees in pots. An overview of how she overwinters.

Evidence Explained & The Chicago Manual of Style & Dewey Decimal

 

I am going to try to figure out how to cite email & letters (AKA correspondence). I will be using Evidence Explained & The Chicago Manual of Style

some of my questions

1. If the email is written to you do you have to send a second email asking if you can cite first email?

2. Citing something means the reader should be able to access the original, correct? How can that be if the email is only on the computer and not published?

I'm going to be asking these questions at the Evidence Explained forums

And reading The Chicago Manual of Style

Part B citing books when there are multiple editions

I need to be able to cite one particular edition of a book when there are multiple editions.

For this example I am going to use

Pocahontas, Alias Matoaka, and Her Descendants

by Wyndham Robertson 1887

the first thing to look at is the actual title page

Since there was no classification system at this time the only way to distinguish this edition would be to use the publication year (1887) and maybe the page numbers (no, because Internet sources are not consistent on how many page numbers of first edition)?

This is before ISBN, so it won't have one, UNLESS someone assigned a number "posthumously", which it looks like someone did:

ISBN (still searching for isbn number)

The Chicago Manual of Style citation 2024:

Robertson, Wyndham. Pocahontas: Alias Matoaka, and Her Descendants Through Her Marriage at Jamestown, Virginia, in April, 1614, with John Rolfe, Gentleman; Including the Names of Alfriend, Archer, Bentley, Bernard, Bland, Boling, Branch, Cabell, Catlett, Cary, Dandridge, Dixon, Douglas, Duval, Eldridge, Ellett, Ferguson, Field, Fleming, Gay, Gordon, Griffin, Grayson, Harrison, Hubard, Lewis, Logan, Markham, Meade, McRae, Murray, Page, Poythress, Randolph, Robertson, Skipwith, Stanard, Tazewel, Walke, West, Whittle, and Others.
