Download or read book The Complete Book of Ferns written by Mobee Weinstein and published by Cool Springs Press. This book was released on 2020-01-14 with total page 259 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Complete Book of Ferns is filled with botanical information, indoor and outdoor growing and care information, details on propagation, display ideas, and even craft projects. This gorgeous book is authored by Mobee Weinstein, the Foreman of Gardeners at the New York Botanical Garden in the Bronx and a veteran guest on the Martha Stewart Living TV show and other media outlets. Houseplants in general are in ascendance, but no category is hotter than ferns. From the otherworldly Staghorns—mounted like antler trophies in homes throughout the world—to the classic Boston Ferns and newer varieties like Crispy Wave, ferns are definitely back in fashion. And to no one’s surprise. After all, ferns are among the very oldest plants on the planet, with a long and storied history. There are tens of thousands of known varieties of ferns. In the Victorian Era, ferns created an absolute craze for more than 50 years. They re-emerged as integral home décor accessories in the '50s and '60s, and who didn’t spend time in a "Fern Bar" back in the '80s? And they are back again. This comprehensive reference starts its examination of ferns 400 million years ago, when the first species of this group of spore-reproducing plants appeared on Earth, exploring their evolution and eventual incorporation into human culture, including the powers associated with them and their practical and ornamental uses. Then, after an exploration of fern botany—its parts, how it grows, its variability in size and form, habitats, propagation, etc.—you'll learn how to green your indoor and outdoor environments with ferns. Every aspect of fern care is covered: potting/planting, watering, fertilizing, pest and disease control, and more. With this knowledge absorbed, explore creative planting projects, like terrariums, vertical gardens (living walls), mixed tabletop gardens, and moss baskets. To make your survey of ferns complete, create pressed fern art, fabric wall hangings with chlorophyll-stained designs, cyanotypes, and hand-made fern-decorated paper. In the end, you will understand why this ancient plant class continues to be all the rage.
Download or read book British Ferns and Their Varieties Classic Reprint written by Charles T. Druery and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-11-25 with total page 556 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from British Ferns and Their Varieties This difference of yield at home and that abroad, and one which our own experience abroad tends to support to some extent, is that it is largely due to the fact that for more than half a century a continued coterie of gentlemen and some ladies, stimulated at the outset by successes in the first half of the nineteenth century, have made here a hobby of searching for abnormal forms among the common Ferns, while some of them have devoted themselves not only to such search and subsequent selective cultivation through the spores so obtained, but also to keeping up clear records of the discoveries, and even depicting them by nature prints. In this connection it is due to the labours of the late Colonel Jones, of Clifton, who prepared some 300 beautifully executed prints from the fronds themselves, that with the kind permission of his daughter, Miss Jones, we are enabled to enrich this volume by a selection, as an appendix, of about a hundred of the most striking forms, adhering almost entirely to the wild finds. The value of this selection is enhanced by the addition of Colonel Jones's contemporary notes, which will be of extreme interest to all students of our indigenous plants. It will need but a glance through these to appreciate the inventive power of Nature and the diversity of form which one and the same Species is capable of assuming at her magical touch. Why this should happen is utterly unknown to us. Theories have been put forward that sports indicate a sympathetic response to environmental influences, but no observant Fern-hunter can agree to this, as the widest variations may be, and often are, found associated with the common forms, their roots and fronds intermingling, so that the environment is identical. Widely different forms, dwarf and congested, robust and lax, may be found on the same hillside, with the same aspect, soil, and general environment, so that the inducing cause of the change must be sought elsewhere, and so far has entirely baffled research. It is clear, too, from the character of such environments, that the sports cannot possibly be imputed to any Change of conditions, another untenable theory. The theory, too, that the number of wild finds may be partly due to escaped spores from the collections dotted about the country must also be rejected, since not only have the great majority been found in localities far distant from such collections, but as a rule there are individual distinctions in wild sports which differen tiate them from each other, and therefore from the progeny of the collected plants. In one instance, in the writer's experience, he visited a wood in the Lake District in which spores from a collection had been artificially introduced several varieties were discovered, but all were distinctly referable to known forms in cultivation, which is practically never the case with wild finds. Spores, too, despite their minuteness, are solid, heavy bodies, unlike the much minuter, ubiquitous ones of the fungi. Hence they are little likely to travel far afield, and so mislead the hunter.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from How Ferns Grow Innumerable books have been written about ferns in their mature stages of development, and many accounts exist of their earliest stages, which end with the formation of the young fern plant, but very little respecting the intervening stages seems to have been recorded. Although in these stages the fern-plant's development takes place, including the leaf-development, the literature of the subject consists of a few scattered papers only. These papers, moreover, deal mostly with individual species, and chiefly with the subject of cell-growth and kindred phenomena. They scarcely touch upon the development of the form and ve nation of the leaf in each species, and in its individual aspect only, without reference to its relation to such development in other fern species. For these reasons, and in view of the important part that the form and venation of the species' leaf play nowadays in the classification of fern species, and of the fact that both often differ widely in the early stages of the' leaf from their characters in the later, it is thought that to point out in this book the principal features of the development of form and venation in fern leaves, as seen in the species of the northeastern United States, will be useful, and may serve to throw light upon such development in fern species in general.

This book was released on 2017-12-03 with total page 334 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Ferns of Great Britain, and Their Allies the Club-Mosses, Pepperworts, and Horsetails A popular description of a fern might be, A large leaf or branch of leaves, bearing no flowers. Yet that leaf-like spray differs from a leaf in several particulars of structure; the most marked of which is, that it repre sents the leaf and fruit conjoined, bearing its fructifi cation, in most cases, on its under surface. The word fmnd, therefore, applied to the green expansion of a fern, though it originated in the idea that the leaf of a fern was composed of a branch and a leaf, is not alto gether an unnecessary distinction. The frond consists of two parts; the leafy portion and the stalk. The stalk is often called the rachis, but, strictly speaking, it is composed of two parts. That part which bears the green leaf is the rachis; and the lower portion of the stalk, destitute of the green expansion, is the stapes. When the frond is so divided, that, besides the principal stalk, another set of stalks runs through the green di visions, each of these last is a secondary mchie; the term primary mchz's referring to the main stalk.
