This book was released on 2017-10-27 with total page 308 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Handbook of Native Woody Plants of the United States As every seil conservationist knows, there is a very definite rela tion between the density of the plant cover on the $011, the amount of $011 lost through eros10n, and the productivity of that soil. These three func tions vary with each other in a regular and direct manner, and there is no reason to believe that they have not always done so. 8011 is partly formed by vegetation, and vegetation is in good part a product of the seil. Taking the hint from our observation of natural conditions, we must expect to direct our efforts at erosion control toward revegetation, Since it is known that erosion starts With the destruction of the plant cover, and that the kind and density of vegetation is more important in influencing run-off and erosion than is steepness of slope or intensity of rainfall.

This book was released on 2015-06-28 with total page 438 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Winter Botany a Companion Volume, to the Author's Plant Materials of Decorative Gardening While at the University of Wisconsin, nearly forty years ago, I became interested in the differences by which woody plants may be recognized in winter-sometimes more surely than when in flower-and learned from Willkomm's excellent but inconveniently shaped book how readily these differences may be grouped for differential purposes.' A large collection of winter twigs was accumulated subsequently at the Missouri Botanical Garden, and I owe a lasting debt of gratitude to many friends-among them the even then venerable Dr. Chapman of Florida-who collected such material for me. Willkomm's book, like other contemporary publications of its kind, was confined to the commonest deciduous trees and shrubs of northern Europe. My intention at that time was to prepare a winter manual of the trees native to the Eastern United States, and illustrations of many of these were prepared by Miss Grace E. Johnson (now Mrs. George Clifford Vieh). For a variety of reasons, this undertaking was laid aside, and her skilful and expressive drawings remain unpublished except for those picturing Acer, Carya, Juglans and Leiineria. It is a pleasure. to record that though long out of practice, Mrs. Vieh has prepared for the engraver some of the simplified drawings now published.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Winter Botany a Companion Volume, to the Author's Plant Materials of Decorative Gardening When my Plant Materials pocket manual was issued, in 1917, an, unusually full account was given of characters that are not mentioned in the usual handbooks, but the keys were based in large part on differences used by the old herbalists, position and other peculiarities of the foliage. The key of the present volume utilizes leaf-scar and bud differences in the same manner. Because the keys of the first volume are as available for coniferous evergreens in winter as in summer, this important group of trees is not considered here at all; but angiospermous evergreens and the few deciduous conifers are treated now in even greater fullness. To avoid unnecessary repetition, fam ily descriptions are not repeated here, and the generic charac ters are confined to the direct purpose of the book.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Ornamental Woody Plants Attractive to Birds To safeguard a sanctuary against enemies of birds, mass planting of shrubs is invaluable. A thick, thorny hedge is more ornamental than an iron, wooden, or stone fence, and assures birds of certain protection from many, and possible protection from others, of their natural enemies. A hedge also provides many nesting places and gives protection to eggs and birds. In general, mass planting is of greater value than individual plant ings in attracting and protecting birds. To induce a variety of birds to visit or inhabit the home grounds. Provender for all should be supplied-conifers and other seed-bearing plants for pine siskins, goldfinches, crossbills, redpolls, and other seedeating species; and apple, bayberry, snowberry, and scores of other fruit producing plants for the fruit-eating species, as robins, cardinals, mocking birds, bluebirds, and many others (conservation Bulletin 1, Attracting Birds, obtainable from the Biological Survey). The fruits, berries, and seeds of wild plants are more relished by birds than are those of domesticated vari eties, and planting a large number of wild species therefore helps to protect those that are cultivated. In this paper are listed and briefly discussed some of the more com mon shrubs, trees, and vines both as to their ornamental value about the home and as to their value from the food and cover standpoint for attract ing desirable birds. No attempt is made to offer suggestions for land scaping, and little description is given of the plants listed. (hints on landscaping may be obtained from U. S. Dept. Agr. Farmers' Bull. 1087, Beautifying the Nurserymen can offer helpful advice on the suitability of the plants listed for specific regions or can suggest simi lar horticultural or wild varieties. Propagating stock can usually be oh tained from reliable nurseries. From these organizations also information can usually be obtained as to suitable varieties, their possibilities for growth, range, habitat requirements, and the like. These data are there fore not included in this paper. The United States Bureau of Plant Industry maintains a file of addresses and catalogs of several thousand nurseries throughout the United States.
