Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Plant Materials of Decorative Gardening the Woody Plants It has become the practice of gardeners to speak of the plants used for decorative purposes as the plant materials of their art. These materials fall rather naturally into three classes: the woody plants used in landscape architecture arid street planting, the herbs used for bedding and border planting, pools, etc., and the grasses of lawns. The present little volume is an attempt to make it possible for any careful observer to learn the generic and usually the specific name of any hardy tree, shrub or woody climber that he is likely to find cultivated in the eastern United States apart from the extreme south or in northern Europe, anywhere except on the more pretentious estates, or in nurseries or botanical establishments. It accounts for 247 genera and 782 species, with some 375 minor forms, or over 1150 distinct kinds. These pertain to 83 natural families. For a few hopelessly complicated genera, such as the haws, cotoneasters, mockoranges and roses, only a few of the most easily recognized species have been admitted. Except for these, an effort has been made to include all but the rarer or newer species. By way of compensation for omissions, the common trees and shrubs of the orchard may be traced to their species, and also the commoner native shrubs and cover plants. It is assumed that the terms usually applied to the parts of plants are understood or will be looked up in the glossary by anyone who wishes to use the keys, and that he will quickly learn to make a small and not necessarily expensive pocket lens of about twelve-diameter magnification his inseparable companion and helper: no further equipment is necessary except a good store of care, patient interest, and common sense. To keep the book inexpensive, and of a size to fit the pocket, identifications are provided for in concise keys.
