This book was released on 2015-06-27 with total page 87 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Origin and History of Our Garden Vegetables, to Which Is Added Their Dietetic Values The objects of this book are, first, the scientific one of showing how plants have varied under cultivation. Thus, the forms of the members of the Cabbage group have all been acquired from the Wild Cabbage (Brassica oleracea, L.) of our chalk cliffs. These grow to some three feet in height when in flower, and take a form like the cultivated Kales - or, rather, one should say that the latter are the least altered from the original stock; while Brussels Sprouts and the huge Cauliflowers are very different from the wild type. These many forms are now hereditary, for it is the experience of all cultivators and experimenters that the change of soil, &c., from the wild state to that of a garden acts directly upon the seedlings, so that they respond to the new influences of the prepared and improved environmental conditions by growing in adaptation to them; and that if a plant thus altered be grown for several generations under the same conditions, the new variation tends to become fixed, and as a rule does actually become so when, subsequently, it is more or less independent of the conditions under which it originated, and is "true to seed." The second object is to trace the history of garden plants from antiquity downwards - from, say, Theophrastus, of the fourth century B.C., whose writings are embodied in those of Pliny and Dioscorides of the first century A. D. - then to continue the investigation through the Middle Ages to the sixteenth century, in which many "Herbals" were written. Our existing plants will be compared with those described and figured by the authors of that date. The "Herbals" were, strictly speaking, medical books, for all plants were supposed to have their special healing virtues. But in the "Herbals" of that century we find culinary uses of many plants superadded to their medicinal values, and it is pretty obvious that they passed from one to the other by the "drug" becoming an "edible" plant by usage. Thus some are described as medicines, but also as "salads," showing how the change was made. E.g., the Green Celery was a drug with many virtues in the fourteenth century; but by blanching it became an edible plant, as well as by stewing the leaves - as is still done in Malta, where it is never blanched. All the so-called "kitchen herbs" used for flavouring were originally medicinal plants, and have undergone little or no change.

Download or read book The Origin Of Plants written by Maggie Campbell-Culver and published by Random House. This book was released on 2014-05-03 with total page 398 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A fascinating history of Britain's plant biodiversity and a unique account of how our garden landscape has been transformed over 1000 years, from 200 species of plant in the year 1000 to the astonishing variety of plants we can all see today. Thousands of plants have been introduced into Britain since 1066 by travellers, warriors, explorers and plant hunters - plants that we now take for granted such as rhododendron from the Far East, gladiolus from Africa and exotic plants like the monkey puzzle tree from Chile. Both a plant history and a useful reference book, Maggie Campbell-Culver has researched the provenance and often strange histories of many of the thousands of plants, exploring the quirky and sometimes rude nature of the plants, giving them a personality all of their own and setting them in their social context. The text is supported by beautiful contemporary paintings and modern photographs in 2 x 8 pp colour sections.

Download or read book Fifty Tales from the Kitchen Garden written by Bill Laws and published by . This book was released on 2017-11-20 with total page 236 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Despite being a source of insults - swede basher, cabbage head, couch potato - the kitchen garden is as full of life, excitement and anecdote as the flower garden. Vegetables have relieved, and caused, famines. They have played a part in protest movements and been used to wage and win wars. Vegetables have shaped the world we know - while the American population thrived on 'king corn' (maize) and green beans, Europeans were hot-housed on a diet of potatoes. Meanwhile many famous historical figures have waxed lyrical on vegetables from Claude Monet, Thomas Jefferson and George Bernard Shaw to Beatrix Potter and P.G. Wodehouse. By celebrating our history of vegetables Bill Laws highlights the facts and foibles for our pleasure and edification. "Laws delights in entertaining us with curious facts, some well known, some new." The Garden "Fascinating and well researched." The English Garden "You'll discover a new side to the common garden vegetable." Period House "There couldn't be a better gift for the dedicated gardener." Publishing News
