Book excerpt: Excerpt from Popular Studies of California Wild Flowers White Mountain Lilies By Bertha Marguerite Rice White lilies growing on the mountain side, In your loved forms I see A sacred symbol of the Christ who died, The Christ who lives for me. O tall, straight mountain lilies, sweet and fair. Your incense waft above. Your tender greetings softly heavenward bear To the dear Christ I love. O Lilies! fair and pure and sweet and white, Thoughts of the Crucified, I read a message in your souls of light, His love, who for me died. Within your hearts no stain of earth doth hide, Though from the earth you spring, Then let not earths taint in my soul abide, Though still to earth I cling. O radiant lilies! blooming for the Christ, Type of His purity; O fragrant lilies! incense offering souls, Waft prayerful thoughts for me. Oh, may my heart from selfish aims be free, Filled with His love divine, To feel, to know, to have his purity, Christ's cause on earth be mine!

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Western Flower Guide: Wild Flowers of the Rockies and West to the Pacific The preparation of a Pacific Coast Wild Flower Guide OI tne present small proportions has naturally involved a large exercise Of elimination. The owers herein illustrated number 250, and the brief descriptions in non-technical language include besides these a few more whose resem blance' to certain Of those depicted makes identification relatively easy. The selection of the subjects has been based mainly upon the hold which such owers have upon the popular heart on the Pacific Coast, and also to some extent by the part they have played in the human life Of the region. A few introduced plants - not uncommon in other parts of the world, and some of them even homely - have been included in the descriptions, because their abundance, their uses, or their habits make them subjects Of interest to travelers and the general student. While the region covered in the Guide is principally the three Coast States, California, Oregon, and Washington, in many cases the plants described are also found eastward in the States from Idaho south to Arizona, and in some cases as far east as Colorado, New Mexico, and Texas. Plains and valleys, seaside and mountains, as well as the Southwestern desert region (a marvellously rich oral field for a part Of the year) are represented. While this book has been prepared out Of a personal acquaintance of many years with the field, the author desires to acknowledge his indebtedness to the following works upon which he has had Occasion to draw for special descriptions and points - Gray's Synoptical Flora of North America, Jepson's Flora Of California (in course of publication), Hall's Compositae of Southern California and Yosemite Flora, Parson's Wild Flowers Of California, Armstrong's Western Wild Flowers, Meehan's Native Flowers and Ferns Of the United States, and the valuable monographs of Chestnut, Coville, Havard, and Barrows on the Indian uses of native plants.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from California Wild Flower Seeds: List No. 5 As an aid to the grower we have in some cases added the species habitat. When no habitat is noted the plant is found throughout California. Plants widely distributed are native also outside the Pacific Coast region. Alti' tude is given as an indication of hardiness. We have stated plants to be hardy in other localities only when we have had specific reports to that effect. We will appreciate receiving such reports on the adaptability of California native plants to various climates and countries. Heights given are average. Plants are perennial unless otherwise indicated. California annuals are best in effect when massed and are well adapted for use in eastern gardens, where they should be sown as soon as frost is over. Most of them require good drainage, light soil, shallow sowing and little water when established. Note special quantity prices for certain species of wild flower seed for naturalizing.

Download or read book A Popular California Flora Or Manual of Botany for Beginners written by Volney Rattan and published by . This book was released on 2016-07-03 with total page 290 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Popular California Flora, or Manual of Botany for Beginners: With Illustrated Introductory Lessons, Especially Adapted to the Pacific Coast One third of the second edition was new matter, and only about half of the book in its present form is printed from the stereotype plates of the first edition. The newer half of the work, although necessarily partaking somewhat of the nature of patchwork, is as good as I can make it. My drawings upon wood have been faithfully engraved, and, though claiming no artistic merit, will, I trust, prove helpful to the learner. With few exceptions - always noted in the text - the plants, or parts of plants, are represented of the natural size. Besides the more obvious improvements, an entirely new Analytical Koy replaces the old one; and our most common oaks are described. Assuming that facts in natural history are useless if merely memorized from the book, and that the student must earn his knowledge by observing and experimenting, it is oh viously best to encourage him at first by showing him how to try simple experiments whose results are easily interpreted. Seeds are the best material for such experiments, since the phenomena connected with their germination are not only easily observed, but deeply interesting. For this reason what may seem a disproportionate space in the Intro ductory Lessons is devoted to The Beginnings of Plant Life. There are no lessons of greater educational value than those given to observing eyes by the growth of a plant from the first quickening of the dry embryo to the putting forth of owers and the ripen ing of fruit. A sunny window in each school-room should be devoted to these beautiful ob'ject lessons of nature. It must not be forgotten, however, that since most young peo ple are eager to learn the names of plants whose owers they admire, it is best to dev'ote most of the spring months to the study of Systematic Botany. The child's What is it? And the finger pointing to the plant in bloom, show plainly with what to begin the study of botany. Baron Frederick von Mueller says in his preface to an elementary work upon the botany of Victoria, Australia: An experience of nearly forty years has convinced the author that the use of a grammar-like publication for initiating into a study of plants is alike wearisome to teacher and children, and that as a rule, subject to rare exceptions, the knowledge acquired from the ordinary first elementary works on botany is as quickly lost as gained. The only method of rendering such studies agreeable and lastingly fruitful consists in arousing an interest of the young scholars in the native plants of their locality, to afiord them all possible facilities to recognize and discriminate all the various plants within reach, to lead them by observations thus started to com prehend the limits of specific forms, of generic and ordinal groups, and to conduct them afterwards to the more difficult study of special anatomy and physiology of plants.
