Book excerpt: Excerpt from Native Trees of Kentucky: A Handbook There are few problems of more economic importance to the State of Kentucky at the present time than an adequate forest policy. Believing that, if the people of the State could be brought to a realization of the fact, that few regions of the world have a greater number of merchantable species of trees than Kentucky, they would establish and support such a forest policy, this volume descriptive of the State trees has been prepared. The term "tree" has been given, regardless of size, to every woody plant which produces one main stem, bearing a definite crown; this feature distinguishes trees from shrubs which have many stems growing from the same roots. Although any systematic arrangement of trees necessitates the use of botanical names, an effort has been made to use the smallest possible number, in order that the book may appeal to all persons interested in the forest conditions of the State. The sequence of families follows the order advocated by Engler and Prantl, the renowned German botanists, and the nomenclature is adopted from "The Check List of Forest Trees in the United States." Bulletin 17 - Forest Service. For convenience, a list of the common names of the trees, native and naturalized in Kentucky has been added. The manuscript was offered to the Kentucky Federation of Women's Clubs for publication of an unlimited first edition, provided the books were distributed free to the people of the State. This offer was accepted at the Annual Meeting in Owensboro, June, 1909. Before going to press the manuscript was checked up by Mr. George B. Sudworth, Dendrologist of Forest Service; Dr. Hermann Von Schrenk, of St. Louis, and Mr. J. B. Atkinson, of Earlington, Ky. The illustrations are from photographs given by Forest Service, Washington, D. C.; Prof. C. J. Norwood, Director of Kentucky Geological Survey; Mr. J. B. Atkinson, of Earlington, Ky.; Dr. Henry Chandler Cowles, of the University of Chicago, and from those made under the supervision of the Author.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Native Woody Plants of the United States: Their Erosion-Control and Wildlife Values Since the initial appearance of this work in preliminary mimeographed form in 1936, a great many people have contributed original information and suggestions without which the present publication would be much less complete. To all of these people, the author wishes to express his sincere thanks. He is particularly indebted to Ernest G.

Download or read book Handbook of the Trees of New England written by Lorin Low Dame and published by . This book was released on 2015-06-30 with total page 380 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Handbook of the Trees of New England: With Ranges Throughout the United States and Canada There is no lack of good manuals of botany in this country. There still seems place for an adequately illustrated book of convenient size for field use. The larger manuals, moreover, cover extensive regions and sometimes fail by reason of their universality to give a definite idea of plants as they grow within more limited areas. New England marks a meeting place of the Canadian and Alleghanian floras. Many southern plants, long after they have abandoned more elevated situations northward, continue to advance up the valleys of the Connecticut and Merrimac rivers, in which they ultimately disappear entirely or else reappear in the valley of the St. Lawrence; while many northern plants pushing southward maintain a more or less precarious existence upon the mountain summits or in the cold swamps of New England, and sometimes follow along the mountain ridges to the middle or southern states. In addition to these two floras, some southwestern and western species have invaded Vermont along the Champlain valley, and thrown out pickets still farther eastward. At or near the limit of a species, the size and habit of plants undergo great change; in the case of trees, to which this book is restricted, often very noticeable. There is no fixed, absolute dividing line between trees and shrubs. In accordance with the usual definition, a tree must have a single trunk, unbranched at or near the base, and must be at least fifteen feet in height. Trees that are native in New England, or native in other sections of the United States and thoroughly established in New England, are described and, for the most part, figured. Foreign trees, though locally established, are not figured. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Seeds of Woody Plants in the United States Trees and shrubs also are planted to improve the habitat of wildlife and to protect the soil from erosion by wind or water. In urban areas, planting is done to improve the environment of man by ameliorating the effects of heat, wind, dust, and noise; and by screening or beautifying the urban landscape. A knowledge of woody plant seeds is essential for producing the seed lings needed in all of these applications. The information in this handbook is presented in two parts. An understanding of the principles and general methods presented in Part 1 will facilitate effective use of the detailed informa tion in Part 2. Part 1 includes a chapter on seed biology followed by 7 chapters on the principles and general methods of producing, handling.

There are comprehensive and field-oriented keys to genera and species, and a systematic list of species in the keys. Includes the preface to the 1922 edition, a glossary, diagrammatic guide to terms (the text's only visuals), and a briefly annotated bibliography. Cope is also a Cornell U. botanist.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Field Book of American Trees and Shrubs: A Concise Description There is a very considerable number of native trees and shrubs of these United States many of which are not as well known as they should be. I do not refer, of course, to such common trees as the Sugar Maple, Fir, and Ameri can Elm, but to their less familiar relatives and to the numerous interesting shrubs which are far from uncommon throughout the land. This book is intended, therefore, not only to furnish the reader with a means for identifying such species, but to demonstrate certain truths relative to form and color which are more within the province of the artist than the botanist and which naturally do not appear in text-books on botany. A particular tree, for instance, possesses a typical figure and a tone of green different from that of its associates. There is no reason why these differ ences should not be described with as much exactness as possible. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
