Book excerpt: Excerpt from Habits of California Plants The subject matter of this book appeared first as a series of papers on California Wild Flowers on the Children's Page of the San Francisco Chronicle. Upon publication, requests came from school teachers in different parts of the state to issue the series in book form. This is the excuse for the book's existence. The plants are introduced through their blossoms, because the flower is the part that appeals to the child, except in the case of trees: but it is hoped that the suggestions as to the habits of the roots, steins, and leaves will be emphasized by the teacher. When the child gains the feeling that each plant is really an individual, with its own peculiar way of doing its life work, the whole out-of-door world becomes a larger, more wonderful realm. The habits of plants was first suggested to the writer by Miss Alice Eastwood, Botanist of the California Academy of Science, in a class connected with her department. To her is due much that is of value in the work. My mother suggested the writing of the papers for the Chronicle and collected many of the specimens for the illustrations. Professor W. A. Setchell and Professor W. L. Jepson of the Department of Botany of the University of California rendered assistance in the study of trees. Professor Jepson loaned some of his photographs and Mr. H. M. Hall, also of the Department of Botany, University of California, secured specimens for the photographs.

Download or read book Growing California Native Plants written by Marjorie G. Schmidt and published by Univ of California Press. This book was released on 1980-12-29 with total page 388 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the first comprehensive book to aid the gardener in making a start with native plants. It takes the gardener through the beginning steps of identifying native plants, evaluating them in relation to conventional garden materials, and learning detailed techniques of propagation and culture. Annuals, perennials (including ferns), bulbs, shrubs and trees are included—with about 350 species treated in detail, and many others included in charts and listings for quick reference. A few California native plants have been in cultivation for a hundred years or so, but widespread consciousness of natives is relatively recent. It has arisen partly because of the recent drought, which natives survived more readily than exotics, and partly because of growing awareness that many natives have become rare or endangered, and may be preserved and perpetuated by cultivation for their ornamental qualities. The book is in full accord with the new trend in landscaping in which the environment, climate, and restricted water supplies are taken into account—not only for gardens but also for parks, roadside plantings, and other large-scale landscaping. Because propagation and cultural methods for many native plants have never been recorded, the author spent years gathering information through correspondence. She has also had personal experience in growing natives for more than 30 years. The result is the first complete, practical, convenient guide for growing native plants. It will be essential for the experienced gardener and the beginner alike.
