Produktbeschreibung

Excerpt from Winter Botany a Companion Volume, to the Author´s Plant Materials of Decorative Gardening While at the University of Wisconsin, nearly forty years ago, I became interested in the differences by which woody plants may be recognized in winter-sometimes more surely than when in flower-and learned from Willkomm´s excellent but inconveniently shaped book how readily these differences may be grouped for differential purposes.´ A large collection of winter twigs was accumulated subsequently at the Missouri Botanical Garden, and I owe a lasting debt of gratitude to many friends-among them the even then venerable Dr. Chapman of Florida-who collected such material for me. Willkomm´s book, like other contemporary publications of its kind, was confined to the commonest deciduous trees and shrubs of northern Europe. My intention at that time was to prepare a winter manual of the trees native to the Eastern United States, and illustrations of many of these were prepared by Miss Grace E. Johnson (now Mrs. George Clifford Vieh). For a variety of reasons, this undertaking was laid aside, and her skilful and expressive drawings remain unpublished except for those picturing Acer, Carya, Juglans and Leiineria. It is a pleasure. to record that though long out of practice, Mrs. Vieh has prepared for the engraver some of the simplified drawings now published.
