Book excerpt: Excerpt from Herbaceous Perennials for the Central Great Plains The central Great Plains of the United States is an area distinctive in its plant growth and native plant Species. It was the native home of the great herds of buffalo and has been known since the advent of the white man as the short grass country. Native vegetation, except along natural waterways, is confined largely to nonwoody species; a few notable exceptions are sagebrush, greasewood, cactus, and yucca. The region is characterized by low annual rainfall, high wind movement, and low relative humidity. The central Great Plains region and its annual rainfall lines are shown in figure 1. Because of the harshness of the climate most native plant species behave as herbaceous perennials, in which the plant survives the winter as various types of underground roots and rootstocks. The main feature of the winter that limits survival of plants is not the cold tempera ture alone, but the combination of cold, wind, and low humidity often associated with low soil moisture. Unless plants have developed special defenses to meet these climatic conditions-such as small numbers of thinly scattered lenticels and leaves, sunken or protected stomata, or the ability to survive as underground root parts-they become desiccated and suffer from killback, especially during the winter. Because of their ability to survive the winters of the Central Great Plains, the group of nonwoody plants widely known as herbaceous perennials have a definite place in ornamental plantings within the region. They are especially important since the number of woody ornamentals adaptable to the area is limited. This report summarizes herbaceous perennial trials at the Cheyenne Horticultural Field Station, which is representative of some of the most difficult growing conditions to be found in the Central Great Plains region. Successful perennials at Cheyenne should be adapted to most of the Central Great Plains region and are worthy of trial in the entire Great Plains region.

Download or read book High Plains Horticulture written by John F. Freeman and published by University Press of Colorado. This book was released on 2008-11-30 with total page 285 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: High Plains Horticulture explores the significant, civilizing role that horticulture has played in the development of farmsteads and rural and urban communities on the High Plains portions of Colorado, Kansas, Nebraska, South Dakota, and Wyoming, drawing on both the science and the application of science practiced since 1840. Freeman explores early efforts to supplement native and imported foodstuffs, state and local encouragement to plant trees, the practice of horticulture at the Union Colony of Greeley, the pioneering activities of economic botanists Charles Bessey (in Nebraska) and Aven Nelson (in Wyoming), and the shift from food production to community beautification as the High Plains were permanently settled and became more urbanized. In approaching the history of horticulture from the perspective of local and unofficial history, Freeman pays tribute to the tempered idealism, learned pragmatism, and perseverance of individuals from all walks of life seeking to create livable places out of the vast, seemingly inhospitable High Plains. He also suggests that, slowly but surely, those that inhabit them have been learning to adjust to the limits of that fragile land. High Plains Horticulture will appeal to not only scientists and professionals but also gardening enthusiasts interested in the history of their hobby on the High Plains.
Download or read book Perennials Or Old Fashioned Hardy Garden Flowers 1924 Catalogue Classic Reprint written by Pontiac Nursery Company and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-10-27 with total page 34 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Perennials, or Old Fashioned Hardy Garden Flowers, 1924 Catalogue There is no question -in the mind of any one who has a thorough knowledge of nursery stock and its demand among home owners, that a larger number of plants such as are illustrated in this book, can be sold in a given territory than any other class of stock. The orders will not run into money like shrubs, roses or trees, as they are less expensive, but dozens and hundreds can be sold where singles and half-dozens are disposed of in other classes of stock. There is hardly a home in this country where it is not possible to interest the owner in some of these Hardy Perennial Plants as they are a con stant source of joy in the summer months. Study the descriptions so that you know what you are selling, and you will have no trouble in showing any householder where it would be desirable to plant some of this stock. In the back of the book you will find Cannas, Dahlias' and Gladioli, which should be sold only for spring shipment. Remember we do not wish any orders for this class of stock for fall shipment. You can, however, sell them all the year around as long as you take them on spring blanks. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
