Book excerpt: Excerpt from Trees and Their Nature, or the Bud and Its Attributes: In a Series of Letters to His Sons So little, indeed, has the theory been countenanced by botanists, that, to take Professor Balfour's excellent Class - Book of Botany (one of the fullest and most recent of our systematic treatises), as a fair exponent of the received doctrines in vegetable physiology, it may be questioned whether the notice there taken of the theory would lead any ordinary reader to do more than bestow upon it a passing regard, or would suggest to him the application here made of it (and obvious in itself) to two practical questions respecting trees questions often put, and commonly felt to be ex ceedingly perplexing, viz., To what age do they naturally live? And, To what size do they natu rally attain? Certain it is, that in considering these questions, Professor Balfour himself makes no allusion to the theory, and seeks for a solution of them in a direction altogether different from that in which it points.

Download or read book What May Be Learned From a Tree Classic Reprint written by Harland Coultas and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-03 with total page 198 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from What May Be Learned From a Tree It was originally my intention to have published my Tree in eight parts, and to have brought them out in succession, as rapidly as possible; but I have decided, for the present, to stop at Part IV. A much larger subscription than I have yet obtained is necessary to enable me to carry out my original project. Trees will not grow without sap or sunlight, and if mine is, at present, only a mere shrub, and has not advanced to the condition of a California Sequoia, it is because I require more time and means. Do not suppose, reader, that I am at all discouraged, or that I have the slightest intention to give up the work; but the present delay is absolutely requisite in order that I may be able to meet the expenses which I have incurred in its publication. An author who appears before the world in the character of a moralist, and a lover of Nature, must endeavor to live a pure and blameless life, and be upright and honorable in all business transactions. No work which the press has received from my pen has been so much encouraged as the present one, and to my numerous kind friends and patrons I return my sincere thanks. It has been very welcome in many families, and I trust that it contains some good remarks which will do good. And here I must introduce a paragraph, printed on the cover of Part I: - "The question is simply this: 'Will this book do me any good?' 'Is it worth its price?' Gentlemen are respectfully requested to read and judge for themselves. As the author of the book, I wish it to stand entirely on its own merits. I wish no man to buy my book unless he thinks its perusal will do him good?" About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book Studies of Trees Classic Reprint written by J. J. Levison and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-11 with total page 268 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Studies of Trees IN presenting this volume, the author is aware that there are several excellent books, dealing with one phase or another of tree life, already before the public. It is believed, how ever, that there is still need for an all-round book, adapted to the beginner, which gives in a brief and not too technical way the most important facts concerning the identification, structure and uses of our more common trees, and Which considers their habits, enemies and care both when grow ing alone and when growing in groups or forests. In the chapters on the identification of trees, the aim has been to bring before the student only such characters and facts as shall help him to distinguish the tree readily during all seasons of the year. Special stress is laid in each case on the most striking peculiarities. Possible confusion with other trees of similar appearance is prevented as far as possible through comparisons with trees of like form or habit. Only such information is given concerning the structure and requirements of trees as will enable the reader better to understand the subsequent chapters. In the second half of the book, practical application is made of the student's general knowledge thu's acquired, and he is acquainted with the fundamental principles of planting, care, forestry, wood identification and nature study. The author recognizes the vastness of the field he is attempting to cover and the impossibility of even touching.

Download or read book Handbook of the Trees of New England written by Lorin Low Dame and published by . This book was released on 2015-06-30 with total page 380 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Handbook of the Trees of New England: With Ranges Throughout the United States and Canada There is no lack of good manuals of botany in this country. There still seems place for an adequately illustrated book of convenient size for field use. The larger manuals, moreover, cover extensive regions and sometimes fail by reason of their universality to give a definite idea of plants as they grow within more limited areas. New England marks a meeting place of the Canadian and Alleghanian floras. Many southern plants, long after they have abandoned more elevated situations northward, continue to advance up the valleys of the Connecticut and Merrimac rivers, in which they ultimately disappear entirely or else reappear in the valley of the St. Lawrence; while many northern plants pushing southward maintain a more or less precarious existence upon the mountain summits or in the cold swamps of New England, and sometimes follow along the mountain ridges to the middle or southern states. In addition to these two floras, some southwestern and western species have invaded Vermont along the Champlain valley, and thrown out pickets still farther eastward. At or near the limit of a species, the size and habit of plants undergo great change; in the case of trees, to which this book is restricted, often very noticeable. There is no fixed, absolute dividing line between trees and shrubs. In accordance with the usual definition, a tree must have a single trunk, unbranched at or near the base, and must be at least fifteen feet in height. Trees that are native in New England, or native in other sections of the United States and thoroughly established in New England, are described and, for the most part, figured. Foreign trees, though locally established, are not figured. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Besides books there are pictures; and beyond both literature and art there is Nature; and I hope it is not all too presumptuous for a happy, if somewhat desultory, scholar in her great school of life and beauty to chat for a brief while about some of the things that, with others' help, he has learned and learned to enjoy there.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Trees of New York State: Native and Naturalized In some cases the author has been in doubt as to just where to draw the line. The treatment throughout must be considered conservative. There are within the borders Of the state one hundred and thirty-three kinds Of trees exclusive Of Crataegus. Of these one hundred and nine may be considered as native and twenty-four as naturalized. Over two hundred species Of Crataegus have been described for New York State alone but these exhibit such a multitude Of bewildering forms as to be beyond the scope Of the bulletin. The inclusion Of Crataegus brings the total number Of native arborescent species well over three hundred and ranks New York State as one Of the richest in the Union in its arborescent flora. N O attempt has been made to include the shrubby plants Of the state in this publication. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Familiar Trees and Their Leaves: Described and Illustrated One of the most interesting things in connection with the study of nature and the pursuit of art is the study of color. It would take a massive volume profuse with illustrations to adequately describe and portray those phases of color which are common at any hour of the day in the field and woodland. Trees have their moods as well as men, and these are expressed in color which is influenced by, and largely dependent upon, sunlight and atmospheric conditions. To be sure, it is not quite possible to perfectly represent these moods in a process reproduction of a water-color study; but a suggestion of such character is far better than the complete absence of it, and, it must be acknowledged, modern processes are wonderfully faithful to form end the touch of the artist's brush.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Tree Doctor: A Book on Tree Culture HE Americans are a people who love the beautiful, and yet, strange to say, they have destroyed the trees, which are among the grandest objects of all nature. This, however, has not been intentionally done. The pioneers made war on trees, slaughtered them, burnt them up and got rid of them the easiest and quickest Way they could devise. To a certain extent, this was excusable, as the land was needed for other purposes. Thousands now regret that they did not preserve some of the giants of the native forests. The majestic elm in this photograph is one of them. What would you give to have it in your yard? Our people now deeply deplore the mistakes that have been made, and are spending millions of dollars annually, in the hope of establishing sufficient shade and fruit trees for the requirements of man and beast. In spite of all their noble e 'orts they are meet ing defeat on every hand. The whole trouble is traceable to two oversights. It was my intention, five years ago, to point out these facts and the accompanying evils in a lec ture, by the aid of the stereopticon; but I saw that a thousand persons in that work could not reach the masses in' ten years. Then I thought I would write for some papers, butreadily discovered that but comparatively few people could be reached, and such read ing is not easily preserved. Finally, I determined to put the camera to work. Two authorities might disagree on a certain point, and the public say, They can't both be right; may be both are wrong. When, however, the camera gives you a picture, that is something from which you cannot get away. I had first intended to use fifty photographs, then made it one hundred. Again, finding there was a call for knowledge on the landscape and oral arts, I have used 175 photographs, and could use more to advantage, but cannot for the money. I desire to keep the book at so that it will be within the reach Of all. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Trees in Prose and Poetry Trees, in their literary aspect, have as yet found small place in the nature books of to - day; but with the increasing amount of tree study in our common schools there is need of a collection of tree stories and poems. In the compilation of this little book the aim has been to present in the form of a supplementary reader for advanced grades the best litera ture, legendary, historical, and fanciful, that has been inspired by our common trees. Such a book may well have a place in every schoolroom. Where nature study is taught, the selections may be used as supplementary material; where nature study is as yet unattempted, an intelligent study of the selections must inspire the children with a love for the trees and a desire to know them better. There is no result of nature study that does so much to transform well-known scenes as a knowledge of the trees; and an important aid to this larger vision is familiarity with the thoughts of the great writers on these most majestic specimens of the plant world.

Download or read book The Trees of Texas written by Isaac M. Lewis and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-10-27 with total page 178 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Trees of Texas: An Illustrated Manual of the Native and Introduced Trees of the State The present bulletin has been prepared to, meet the needs of those persons who desire to become more familiar with our nativ and introduced trees, but Who do not have access to the more cornplete sets of books which treat this subject. It has been my constant aim to avoid the use of technical terms, and only such have been introduced as can be easily learned from the glossary by the amateur student of nature Who has had no previous train ing in botany. The scientific name and the common names most generally iri use have both been given for each species. Th keys for the separation of families, genera, and species are based in so far: as is possible, on the leaf characteristics. This is neces sary for the reason that the leaves remain on the tree throughout the summer, While the flowers so'on fall away. We should not be deceived, however, into thinking that leaf oharacteristics de note natural relationship to the same degree as the characteris tics of the flower. It has sometimes been necessary to make use of other characteristics of the tree, such as the fruit, bark, or thorns in order to separate closely related genera or species.

This book was released on 2019-02-11 with total page 32 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Forestry and Arboriculture in Massachusetts Ladies and Gentlemen, - It has been concisely stated in the report of a forest commission of a neighboring State that a wise economy in the use of the natural resources of a country should recognize the fact that certain regions of the earth's surface are adapted by nature to remain covered with forests, and that any attempt to devote such regions to other purposes can only be followed by failure and disaster. Through the work on the forests of the United States, published in connection with the census of 1880, t it is now possible to form a correct estimate of the immense economic value of our forests. In this volume full accounts are given of the four hundred trees which make up our forest flora, and nearly every one is shown to possess some special value or adaptation to special surroundings. A knowledge, too, of the physical importance of the forests, as shown by a careful study of the effect produced by their removal, both in this country and in Europe, is becoming widely disseminated.

Download or read book Illustrated Guide to the Trees and Flowers of England and Wales Classic Reprint written by Hampden Gurney Jameson and published by . This book was released on 2015-06-29 with total page 154 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Illustrated Guide to the Trees and Flowers of England and Wales This book is intended to help the ordinary nature-lover, who may perhaps have little or no special knowledge of botany, to find out the names of such trees and flowers as he meets with. If knowing the name, he will turn for further information to one of the larger works mentioned below, so much the better, but the name must come first. With plants, as with human beings, the first step towards a friendship, with all its future possibilities of interest and delight, is to learn your friend's name. No doubt even ignorant people get some sort of enjoyment out of nature, but it makes all the difference in the world to the pleasure of a country walk when, on every hedge-bank and in every ditch, we catch sight of familiar acquaintances, which we have learnt to greet by name, and to recognize as friends. The method of using the illustrated "Key" is explained in Part IV. Of course, several Keys exist already, such as the excellent one in Bentham's "British Flora," but these are mostly couched in very technical language, and often presuppose more skill and experience than the beginner has at his command. In the present work technical terms are avoided as far as possible, and the Key is founded on plain and easily observed characters, and such as do not involve dissection. But the special feature of the book lies in the illustrations accompanying the text, which help to make its meaning clear at a glance. These figures are necessarily very small, and do not pretend to be complete pictures of the plants, but simply to illustrate the special characters used for the Key. By far the greater number of them were drawn direct from nature, for the particular purpose to which they are here applied. The method of the Key allows the groups of Trees and Shrubs, and the Aquatic Plants, to be treated by themselves, and thus makes it possible to identify most of these without depending on their flowers, which are so often difficult to examine, or absent. In short, the book aims especially at being practical, without, it is hoped, forfeiting all claim to be scientific. It tries to help the learner very much as a botanical friend might do, by pointing out, to the eye and the understanding at once, such characteristics as are found, by actual experience, to be easily recognized and remembered. The first draft of the Key was written more than twenty years ago, and almost every part of it has been altered and amended to meet practical difficulties.
