Download or read book The Cherries of New York Classic Reprint written by U. P. Hedrick and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-11-03 with total page 498 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Cherries of New York This is the fourth of the monographs on the fruits of temperate North America published by the New York Agricultural Experiment Station. The nature and purposes of these treatises have been set forth in the pref aces of preceding volumes, but a summary of the purposes, with needed emphasis on several, is given for the convenience of all readers and the enlightenment of those who may not have the first three books. The Cherries of New York contains an historical account of cultivated cherries, the botany of this fruit, a statement of its present economic status in America, descriptions of all known varieties of cherries, the synonymy and bibliography of the Species and varieties, and biographical sketches of the per sons who have contributed materially to cherry culture in America. The most important varieties are illustrated in colors. Everything that was thought would be helpful in breeding cherries has been included, and special search has been made for such material. So, too, whatever was thought to be of interest to Students of ecology and of plant distribution has been added. In the monographs on grapes and plums it was necessary to devote much space to the botanical relationship of these fruits since each contains more than a score of species under cultivation, some of which are scarcely known and most of which are extremely variable. The botany of culti vated cherries is comparatively simple and has been made plain by botanical writers. Yet the contemplation of the several species from a horticultural standpoint adds something, we believe, to the botany of cherries, especially as concerns the forms of the Sweet Cherry and the Sour Cherry which have been variously treated by botanists.

It was then, even before we set out, that I noticed the ribbons she wore that day. The fact that I remem ber a detail of this insignificance so great a number of years after is the more uncommon because I do not think that at the time I particularly noticed the ribbons, my mind being occupied with considerations of the lady's mental and moral attributes.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The New-York Cries in Rhyme New-york is built on the south end of the Island of Manhattan, now called new-york Island. The noble River Hudson, or North River, flows along its north west side, while the East River, which unites with the majestic Long Island Sound, waters the south-east border. It is thought that no place in the world, embraces so many natural advantages for commerce and trade, as the port of new-york. None, perhaps, is in a more flourishing condition, than it is at this time. A great many buildings have been recently erected, and we may behold whole squares and magnificent structures going up in various parts of the city. Vessels from almost every commercial country, may be seen in its port; and the steamboats, m the summer are numerous, and ply in every direction. By great labor and expense, the numerous hills in that part of the Island on which the city is building, have been leveled, and valleys and swamps have been filled up. Only a few years ago, there was a lake of fresh water, called the Collect, in the middle of the city, which is now firm land; and spacious streets and stately buildings, now occupy a place where the boys of new-york formerly spent many hours in skating!

Download or read book Consider the Women written by Debbie Blue and published by Wm. B. Eerdmans Publishing. This book was released on 2019-03-07 with total page 186 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A timely and compelling new look at three key women in the biblical narrative Among the mostly male-dominated narratives in Scripture, the stories of women can be game-changing. In this book Debbie Blue looks closely at Hagar (mother of Islam), Esther (Jewish heroine), and Mary (Christian matriarch)—and finds in them unexpected and inviting new ways of navigating faith and life. As she sets out to explore these biblical characters who live and move in places and ways outside of the strict boundaries of tradition, Blue encounters many real life characters who challenge her expectations and renew her hope—a Muslim tattoo artist, a Saudi Arabian sculptor, a rabbi in a Darth Vader costume, Aztec dancers at a feast of Guadalupe, an Islamic feminist scholar, and more. Readers who embark with Blue on the sometimes unorthodox, subversive paths of these curious and lively figures will be led to envision more expansive and hopeful possibilities for faith, human connection, and love in our divided, violent world.

Download or read book Peeps at Great Cities written by Hildegarde Hawthorne and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-02-07 with total page 126 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Peeps at Great Cities: New York New York, with other cities, has a spirit of its own. You notice it very soon after getting there but, of course, like everything else, it takes time to understand this personal side of the place, this individuality. And yet this side is by far the more interesting, and is truly New York. New York is gay, but not with the gaiety of Paris or Vienna, or of the Southern cities. It is a hard, busy gaiety, Without the polished grace of the French capital or the childlike charm of Naples. New York's gaiety is more that of a hard-worked and anxious man, who throws of? His business cares and troubles for a little While, and goes in for what he calls a good time. The English are said to take even their pleasures seriously; and though New Yorkers don't do just that, they do take them in a hurried, restless fashion, and are too often rather rough than merry, as in the New Year and election merry-makings, that, though kindly enough, are more given to horseplay than real fun.
