Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not
used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad
quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are
images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to
keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the
original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain
imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made
available for future generations to enjoy.

Where to Retire offers the best advice not only on where to
relocate in the retirement years, but why people should pick up and
move just as life is settling down. Retirement guru John Howells
provides well-researched and completely revised and updated
information on how to find the ideal home base for the retirement
years. To help the decision-making process, the author offers a
list of items to consider when selecting the ideal community:
safety; climate; housing availability; cultural and recreation
opportunities in the area; social compatibility; affordability;
medical care; distance from relatives and friends; transportation;
and jobs and/or volunteer opportunities. Howells gives readers
clear snapshots of life in hundreds of the most affordable,
comfortable, and stimulating places to retire in the United States,
including locations in Florida, California, the Pacific Northwest,
the Gulf Coast, the Ozarks, the Appalachians, the Southwest, and
the Rockies. This guide tells not how to retire, but where readers
can retire happily.
In this volume, John Howells attempts to bring clarity to a
confusing subject. Gardeners are bewildered with the choice of over
1000 clematis in the "Plantfinder". How can the gardener know the
characteristics, growing requirements, attractions, faults and
flowering time of so many? Some years ago the author devised a
straighforward classification of clematis by dividing them into 12
groups, a system which is now universally followed. The main part
of the book considers all 12 groups in order of flowering . Each
group has an unmistakable description and unambiguous
illustrations. A number of easy to grow clematis in each group are
described and illustrated. Understandable but brief descriptions
are given for the cultivation of each group. A knowledge of just 12
clematis, one from each group, gives the key to knowing all 1000.
With this key the gardener can quickly choose what appeals and what
suits the chosen planting area. There is also guidance on how to
buy clematis and how to develop a clematis collection. Lists of the
best clematis are provided.
