Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Journal of the Royal Horticultural Society of London, 1866, Vol. 1 The changes of form in the species of the vegetable kingdom are very properly considered at the present moment one of the phe nomena which are most worthy of attracting the attention of observers. The subject of the variability of species, which was put aside amongst questions of secondary consideration, has within a short time assumed an unexpected importance; and without mentioning the philosophical deductions to which it has given rise, it may be asserted that it forces itself on our notice at the very commencement of all our descriptive works. For the last ten years I have devoted to it all my attention, and though duly estimating the facts in this direction observed by my predecessors, it is nevertheless to my own experiments I have looked, especially for enlightenment on this obscure subject. I do not pretend to have solved all the difficulties which it involves, but I think that I have arrived at results which, I hope at least, will throw some light upon points in the biology of vegetables which have been hitherto perplexed.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Journal of the Horticultural Society of London, 1846, Vol. 1 This, I think, in most situations might be easily contrived. My own house lies on high ground, and the water is brought from a considerable distance, but yet I found very little of difficulty or of expense in its construction for it must be borne in mind thata small quantity of water is sufficient, and that this, after passing through the stove, might be conveniently used for garden purposes. It must be remembered also that this plan may be added to any existing stove, and that the sole expense will be for the pipe to conduct the stream, and for the labour of the carriage and arrangement of the rock-work.

This book was released on 2018-10 with total page 608 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Journal of the Royal Horticultural Society of London, 1898, Vol. 22 Geographically considered, California is one of the most favoured districts on the American continent. The Pacific Ocean washes its entire western shore. To the east lie several lesser ranges of mountains, backed up by the Rockies. The Oregon State line is a continuation of California northward, while to the south, genial and balmy Mexico abuts in such a friendly way that the traveller must needs inquire where one country ends and the other begins. Thus it is that, tempered by warm trade winds from the ocean, and lofty mountain ranges protecting us from the East - where the land is frozen in winter and scorched in summer - Nature has smiled upon us and placed every possible need of mankind within our reach.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Journal of the Royal Horticultural Society, 1908, Vol. 33: Parts I and II By tendency to vary, he evidently means Response to the direct' action Of the new conditions Of life. TO judge from the past, had Darwin lived until today, he would have become assured that Definite Results are not only plentiful but universal; and that Indefinite Results - among which the majority are Injurious variations - do not occur at all under any new conditions Of life in nature so that New sub-varieties, and we may add varieties, species, and genera, are, in fact, always produced without the aid Of natural selection. The reader will perceive that, unlike Darwinism, Darwin himself conclusively shows that this alternative interpretation of the Origin Of Species is no theory at all, but represents the true Natural Law Of Evolution.

This book was released on 2018-10-10 with total page 532 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Journal of the Royal Horticultural Society, 1896-7, Vol. 20 I adopt the plan of placing pieces of tough fibrous loam or peat when planting and surfacing around the stem of the plants so as to encircle each plant this prevents any superfluous moisture settling at the base or collar of the plants through watering and syringing during the season, which so often pro duces canker, thereby causing the death of the plant and loss of the crop. From 2 feet 6 inches to 3 feet apart is a good distance for house work, and for pits and frames one plant placed in the centre of each light will be sufficient, as this distance allows the plants to extend without the growth being crowded - a most im portant point to be considered. Regulating the growth - Train the plants to a neat stake until the trellis is reached; rub Off all growths as they show from the stem below the trellis train the growths right and left and allow the leading stem to grow up without stopping to within a foot of the top. If the side shoots are likely to be crowded, pinch out some at first sight, as the Melon will not endure thinning so severely as the Cucumber; therefore the growths should be stopped and thinned early enough for those remaining to just cover the trellis with well-developed foliage and no more.

This book was released on 2019-02-02 with total page 676 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Journal of the Royal Horticultural Society, 1907, Vol. 32 The primary consideration in the formation of any garden should be the suitability of the site for the specific purpose in view. If greater attention were paid to this, the instances of failure or Of unsatisfactory progress would be far less frequent. Having chosen the site, then adapt it in the best possible way for the Object intended. It is now well known that exposure to the keen biting winds of both winter and Spring is oftentimes more conducive to failure than frost itself. To this essential point due regard must be paid in the case of many plants indigenous to Japan such, for instance, as bamboos and palms; even the maples and some of the coniferae require shelter from cold Winds such as we experience in most parts of England. Shelter must therefore be provided, if not already existing in a sufficient degree. In our case we had scarcely any provision to make in this respect, being well screened by evergreens, walls, and tall trees.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Journal of the Royal Horticultural Society, Vol. 21: 1897-1898 The old Greek naturalists thought that the food of plants was elaborated beforehand in the earth, as in a stomach, and it took centuries of work to establish the fact that what the ordinary plant takes up by its roots in the absorbed water is only mineral matters of the ash, constituting but a minute fraction of the food-materials of the plant (absolutely essential, however), to be worked up in the leaves with the far larger quantities of gases there taken in and assimilated in the chlorophyll apparatus by means of energy obtained from the sun. It was part of the price to be paid for rescuing the physiology of plant-nutrition from the grip of the old ideas of Aristotle, in the disastrous more modern form they had assumed in 1835 - 40 when the humus theory held sway, that soil came to be regarded as merely a mineral medium of value to the plant in preportion to its contents in certain chemical salts.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Journal of the Horticultural Society of London, 1848, Vol. 3 Before the reign of Elizabeth it would not seem that the laying out of grounds, or even horticulture itself, in the strict sense of the word, had been made the subject of any treatise. That records of the Opinions and habits of our ancestors on these matters exist in old mss., although not reduced therein to any regular system, there is little reason to doubt; and, as regards horticulture, it would assuredly repay any person who may have the leisure if he should ascertain successfully what were the indigenous plants, and especially vegetables, of this country, tracing carefully the introduction of others into general use. Such information must exist in the British Museum and in other libraries in which the older mss. Are preserved. It would doubtless be a laborious work. Hundreds of pages must be searched with comparatively few though valuable results; yet the whole result would be as instructive as gratifying.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Journal of the Horticultural Society of London, 1853, Vol. 8 It is well known to every observer of what passes around him in nature, that plants exhibit day by day certain periodic phenomena analogous to those of sleep in animals. Either the leaves alter their position so as to exhibit a totally different appearance, or the flowers close more or less partially; either phenomenon taking place within certain fixed limits of time and circumstance. It is to the former of these cases that our author has directed his attention, as, in his opinion, more strictly allied to the periodic rest which is so essential to the sustenance of animal life in health and vigour.

It is, for instance, by no means a matter of indifference whether Nicotiana rustica be impregnated with the pollen of N, paniculata, or the contrary.
