This book was released on 2017-10-23 with total page 804 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Trees and Shrubs Hardy in the British Isles, Vol. 2 Few trees Of a similar character are so beautiful as the two common laburnums. When fully in flower, and laden with streaming racemes Of golden colour, as they usually are in late May and June, nothing can surpass them in effectiveness. The German popular name, Golden Rain, is peculiarly appropriate. They look their best in a group Of three to six trees, with a dark evergreen mass, like holly or holm oak, behind them. Of very easy culture and raised readily from Seed, no Special directions are needed for their treatment. They thrive in any soil that is not waterlogged. It is Often advisable to remove the seed-pods as soon as the flowers are past. In some seasons the trees develop and ripen enormous crops Of pods, and this, besides being Of no value or beauty, is apt to induce a stunted condition Of growth and reduce succeeding crops Of blossom. Laburnums are not particularly long-lived, and attention to this matter will be repaid, especially in the case of valued or fine specimens, by increased longevity. The seeds contain a poisonous alkaloid, and children have been known to die from eating them in a green state. The heart-wood of the trunk is Of a dark colour and very hard; it is sometimes used as a substitute for ebony, occasionally also for furniture making. Many trees and Shrubs of the Leguminosae can be grafted on laburnum, and the abundance of its seed and easy cultivation have made it very much used as a stock for many of its allies.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Flower Grouping in English Scotch and Irish Gardens: Notes and 56 Sketches in Colour I have endeavoured to give hints on the employment of many bulbs and blossoming trees, and of all the most effective garden flowers, such as Lilies, Roses, Irises, Campanulas, etc., and to supplement, as far as possible, some of the omissions in my former book Garden Colour.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Wild Garden, or the Naturalization and Natural Grouping of Hardy Exotic Plants: With a Chapter on the Garden of British Wild Flowers The illustrations are, with a few exceptions, the work of Mr. Alfred Parsons, and the drawing and engraving have been several years in execution. They are after nature, in places where the ideas expressed in the first small edition of the book had been carried out, or where accident, as in the case of the beautiful group of Myrrh and white Harebells at Cambridge, had given rise to beautiful plant pictures. I cannot too heartily thank him for the skill which he devoted to the drawings, and for his success in showing the motive of the 'wild Garden.'

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Trees and Shrubs of the British Isles, Vol. 1: Native and Acclimatised Although there have been many works produced dealing With Trees. We know of none giving detailed descriptions of such a number of species, and the Shrubs, it is believed have never been so dealt with. Many readers are well informed as to most of the herbaceous plants so often described in popular books. Yet they have little or no knowledge of the great majority of the Trees and Shrubs which Specially help to make this country so beautiful. It is the Authors' hope that their work will not only enable such persons to identify all the species common to these Islands, and many that have been introduced, but will make them familiar with their Habitat, Form, Structure, Beauty, Uses, &c. The work appeals to Art Masters. Botanists. Field Naturalists, Foresters, the general reader who wishes to know something of Trees and Shrubs, Horticulturists. Natural History and Scientific Societies, Owners of Estates and Gardens, Students. Teachers, and to the users of General Reference Libraries.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Flowers and the Flower Garden: With Instructions on the Culture of Ornamental Trees, Shrubs, &C One great merit in horticulture is, that it confines itself to no rank, and that it may form the amusement or the pursuit alike of great and small, rich and poor; only, the kind of garden we choose, what we do with the land which we have at command, must depend on those extraneous circumstances to which we all have to submit.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: BILLARDIERA LONGIFLORA.--Blue Apple Berry. Van Diemen's Land, 1810. If only for its rich, blue berries, as large as those of a cherry, this otherwise elegant climbing shrub is well worthy of a far greater share of attention than it has yet received, for it must be admitted that it is far from common. The greenish bell-shaped blossoms produced in May are, perhaps, not very attractive, but this is more than compensated for by the highly ornamental fruit, which renders the plant an object of great beauty about mid-September.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Trees and Shrubs Hardy in the British Isles, Vol. 1 In the case of nomenclature of species, I have with few exceptions clung to what is known as the Kew rule of giving a plant the specific name first published in conjunction with the proper genus. In the preparation of this work I have had the enormous advantage of being able to make full use, not only of the magnificent collections of living plants at Kew, but also of the herbarium of trees and shrubs which has been in course of formation there for thirty years, at first by the late Mr Geo. Nicholson, and during the last thirteen years by myself. There are very few of the descriptions that have not been made from authentic material - living or dried.
