Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew: Historical and Descriptive The fact that nearly three millions of people visit the Royal Botanic Gardens at Kew every year, and that the numbers are increasing annually, justifies the assumption that many persons will be glad to learn the history of the greatest botanical establishment in the world, and to know something of its aims, its work, and the leading principles on which it is conducted. It is to meet such a desire that this book has been written. The art of gardening is now so generally and so enthusiastically practised, that on this account also a history and description of Kew should prove acceptable. A Cabinet Minister lately described Kew as "the most beautiful garden in the world." But if an estimate from such a quarter should be considered as not without prejudice, we may turn to the Russian savant, Mr. V. J. Lipsky, who has stated that Kew is not only better than any one of the many other public gardens he has studied in - it is better than all of them put together! The author believes, too, that the story of Kew Gardens has sufficient intrinsic interest to make it worth the telling. The Kew Gardens of the present time are a union of two famous demesnes - Kew Gardens proper and the Royal Gardens of Richmond; and although the sterner events of English history have passed these places by, they are not without their touch of romance.

Download or read book Agromyzidae Diptera of Economic Importance written by K.A. Spencer and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-03-09 with total page 426 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The original stimulus which started KENNETH SPENCER on a study of the Agro myzid flies was an invitation, which he accepted, to translate from the German the monograph on Leaf Miners by Professor E. M. HERING. From this developed nearly 20 years of collaboration until Professor HERING's death in 1967. Dr. SPENCER has himself described over 600 new species in the family, many of which he collected and reared from known host plants during his extensive travels to all the five main continents. Largely as a result of his work, the number of species known in Britain has increased from 90 in 1945 to 313 today. He is thus uniquely qualified to write this book about the hundred and fifty or so species which are regularly associated with cultivated plants. Much of the taxonomic detail provided here will be of value primarily to specialists; but with the help of a microscope and the botanical host list (Chapter 2) and the numerous illustrations (mostly prepared by ANN SPENCER) those in agri cultural institutes and elsewhere should now be able to identify the majority of species found attacking crops in any part of the world.
Download or read book Dictionary Of British And Irish Botantists And Horticulturalists Including plant collectors flower painters and garden designers written by Ray Desmond and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2020-12-23 with total page 876 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Over the past four centuries botanists and gardeners in the British Isles have gathered, maintained and propagated many varying species of plants. Their work has been documented in innumerable books and articles which are often difficult to trace. The Dictionary of British and Irish Botanists and Horticulturalists represents a time-saving reference source for those who wish to discover more about the lives and achievements of the horticulturalists listed. The dictionary's utility comes not only from indicating the major publications of the named authors, but also the location of their herbaria and manuscripts.; The previous 1977 edition of the Dictionary has for many years been a much used source of information for botanists, botanic artists and archivists. In this revised edition the scope has been expanded to include among its 13,000 entries flower painters in addition to botanical artists over 1400 entries and, for the first time, garden designers.; Finally the Dictionary should have international appeal since so many botanists and gardeners worked on collective plants overseas, in particular in North America and the British Commonwealth.; Each entry gives, wherever possible, details of dates and places of birth and death, educational qualifications, professional posts, honours and awards, publications, location of plant collections, manuscripts, drawings and portraits. Its main function, however, is to provide further biographical references to books and periodicals. Comprehensive classified indices facilitate access by professions and activities, countries, and plant interests.
