Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Ornamental Shrubs for Garden, Lawn, and Park Planting: With an Account of the Origin, Capabilities, and Adaptations of the Numerous Species and Varieties, Native and Foreign, and Especially of the New and Rare Sorts, Suited to Cultivation in the United States As this not designed to be a scientific treatise, no attempt is made as strictly botanical classification or description. What is written is more especially for the large number of people who, though interested in plants and flowers, have little or no knowledge of botany, and neither time nor inclination to acquire it. It is not intended by this statement, however, to give support to a somewhat common opinion that the lessons of botany are useless or uninviting, for few studies can be, to a genuine lover of nature, more attractive or even fascinating. In nearly all cases the popular names of plants are given in connection with those by which they are scientifically known throughout the civilized world. Botanical terms and phrases are employed in description only when it is believed they will interest and assist the ordinary reader, rather than tend to his embarrassment. It is certainly worth something to those who admire trees, shrubs, and flowers to know their scientific as well as their common names, and, to some extent, their origin and history. It is as a help to such knowledge, the want of which is sorely felt by many, that these pages have been written and are now given to the public.
