Book excerpt: Excerpt from Glimpses at the Plant World Dear Children, - I hope these little talks about a few of the many wonderful and beautiful things in the plant-world will help you to see and understand some things about you that you have not yet noticed. When I was a little girl, I lived in the country and spent a great deal of time in the woods and fields. I had so many happy days among the wild-flowers! I did not always know their names, but I knew the little plant-folks themselves, and knew the very spot where I was to look for this or that particular kind.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Plant World, Vol. 5 The Garden, as now improved, includes approximately forty-five acres, devoted to a formal flower garden, various synopses of botanical or economical significance, a fruticetum, an arboretum, and a moderate sized range of houses, some of old model and others of recent construc tion in accordance with the present practice in plant-house building. The planting in these divisions the Garden is in part formal, in part natural, and, while the transitions are not always satisfactory, the ex treme representations of the two methods are fairly successful. In the plant-houses, in addition to ranges furnished with, staging, which is best suited to the growth and display of certain kinds of plants, other ranges are devoted to representative collections of a homogeneous character, planted out in as natural a way as may be. There are, for instance, a fern house, a tree-fern tower, an acacia house, a yucca tower, and a cactus house, in which the impression produceable by each of these classes of plants is accentuated by the natural manner in which they are grown.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Plant World, Vol. 3 The fall of 1892 was very dry, and a piece of woodland near Oakwood, Staten Island, N. Y., was burned over. Some of the swamps included in the area continued to burn for about two months in spite of several rains. To walk in one of the burnt swamps after the fire was out, was like tramping in the snow; the ashes were ankle deep and soft and fine. Many red maples two feet in diameter had fallen. There were also a few trees of other kinds. Their roots had been burned and a strong north wind, that came later, had blown them down.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Susy Branch and Nick Lansing are typical Wharton heroes: popular, attractive, and much poorer than their “international set” friends. Like Lily Bart in The House of Mirth, the two depend on the largesse of more privileged acquaintances to get by. Recognizing in each other a desire for the finer things in life, they decide to get married and, knowing that their friends will happily provide fabulous accommodations, live rent-free on an extended honeymoon until either one of them finds a better match—at which point they will amicably divorce and sail off into their separate, wealthier sunsets. But a romantic tour of Europe can confuse even the most mercenary hearts. And when a friend asks for a favor in exchange for the use of her palazzo, Susy and Nick realize that everything in this sophisticated world comes at a price: one that their hearts and consciences may no longer allow them to pay. . .

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Plant World, Vol. 1 As the ferns and conifers can be most advantageously studied elsewhere, we shall take up the higher division of the flowering plants, known to botanists as Angiosperms, the name signifying plants which produce their seeds in a closed cavity called the ovary. The Angio sperms are divided into two great sections, each of which may be easily recognized, and which are of such importance that their names and characteristics should be memorized.

Download or read book The Study of Plant Life Classic Reprint written by Marie Carmichael Stopes and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-01-18 with total page 216 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Study of Plant Life As a result of the present efforts to raise the standard of education in this country, many different Methods of Teaching are receiving our grave consideration. So insistent are their advocates, that we stand in some danger of forgetting that learning. Rather than teaching, is the essential factor in education. It is not the know ledge given us ready-made by the teacher, but that which we learn, acquiring it by our own efforts, which enters into our being and becomes a lasting possession. Therefore this little book does not pretend so much to teach as to act as a guide along the road for those who desire to learn something about the plants around them; hence it points out how much they can easily see for themselves of the wonderful life and work of the silent plants. It is planned for children, whose quick sympathies are more readily drawn towards the life of things than to the dry facts of morphology or classification. Its Leitmotif is therefore the story of life, and those of its activities which find expression in the plant world. Perhaps it may serve to awaken interest in some older people who have not yet been initiated into these mysteries. As is inevitable, most of the actual facts in this book are already the common property of botanists, though some of the suggested work, such as the mapping, is only now being adopted by the Universities.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The First Book of Plants Plants grow almost everywhere in the world around us in all sizes and shapes. Some are so small that they can be seen only with a microscope. Others, like the redwood trees of Cali lornia, tower high in the sky. Plants grow not only in well watered soil, but in oceans, rivers, lakes and swamps, in deserts, on rocks, far above the ground on branches of trees, on old pieces of wood, even on such unlikely things as crusts of bread, old shoes, or on top of arctic snow. Some strange plants eat insects, and others steal food from their neighbors. Plants and animals are the living, growing things of the earth. Most animals move around, and many of them have sound apparatuses, for making noises. Most plants spend their whole lives silently in one place. Because they live so quietly, we sometimes forget that during their growing seasons they work hard all day long. For plants are just as alive as animals, and they have the same problems: finding and keeping a place to live, getting food, fighting animal enemies and plant rivals.

This book was released on 2017-12-15 with total page 482 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Freaks and Marvels of Plant Life; Or Curiosities of Vegetation Text-books remind us of the importance of the vegetable world in its relationship to the animal. They also illustrate the grandeur and beauty which the plant has conferred on the world. It is difficult to form any adequate conception of the vast extent and unlimited variety of vegetable life. All we can do is to pick up here and there some object of special interest, gaze at it, marvel at it, try to com prehend it, if we can, and then pass on, leaving behind us a trackless ocean of wonderful things, to be picked up by our successors, and marvelled at as we have done.
