Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Cactus Guide I was born far from any desert region; but when my father first brought home a golden spined barrel cactus, a craving for more of its kind possessed me. It left an indelible mark in my heart. It was not until 1927, however, that I realized what part cactus plants would play in my later life and what enjoyment they would bring me. It was then that I started working in the famous Missouri Botanical Garden where a fine collection of cacti was maintained. I was given an opportunity to work with the plants under my father's tutelage. Soon I was making cuttings, propagating by seed, and even grafting the plants.

Book Cactus Culture for Amateurs

Download or read book Cactus Culture for Amateurs written by William Watson and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2016-10-19 with total page 164 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Cactus Culture for Amateurs: A Concise and Practical Guide to the Management of a Little Understood Family of Plants The first edition of Cactus Culture was published in 1889. A second was called for in 1903, a third some years later, and now a fourth edition has become necessary. The work has been carefully revised, a number of Species have been omitted owing to their not being in cultivation in this country, and others of recent introduction have been added. Botanical works reveal that many new additions to the Order Cactacea have been made, some of which, no doubt, are now in cultivation in American gardens, where Cacti are more in favour than they were. Considerable alterations in the classification of nomencla ture of the plants have been made by American botanists, but it has not been thought advisable to follow them here, the names used in this book being the same as are in use at Kew.

Book Agaves of Continental North America

Download or read book Agaves of Continental North America written by Howard Scott Gentry and published by University of Arizona Press. This book was released on 2004-02-01 with total page 692 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: New in paperback Spring 2004, this is an indispensable guide to agaves. The uses of agaves are as many as the arts of man have found it convenient to devise. At least two races of man have invaded Agaveland during the last ten to fifteen thousand years, where, with the help of agaves, they contrived several successive civilizations. The region of greatest use development is Mesoamerica. Here the great genetic diversity in a genus rich in use potential came into the hands of several peoples who developed the main agricultural center of the Americas. Perhaps, as the Aztec legends suggest, it was the animals that first showed man the edibility of agave. Evolution in use ranges all the way from the coincidental and spurious, through tool and food-drink subsistence with mystical overlay, to the practical specialties of modem industry and art. The historic period of agave will be outlined here as briefly as that complicated development will allow.
