Book excerpt: How and why a well-managed garden plant or an introduction from abroad will suddenly become an aggressive weed. This edition is exclusive to newnaturalists.com This long-awaited book is more than a key volume in the New Naturalist series: it is a work of the first importance by the leading authority on the subject. For though Sir Edward Salisbury is best known to the public for his thirteen years' work as Director of Kew, and for his outstandingly successful gardening books, he has accumulated over years of study a first-hand knowledge of our weed flora that is certainly unique. While it is completely up-to-date, Weeds and Aliens is the result of half a century of observation and curiosity; it is likely to remain for a long time to come a standard work for botanists, farmers, gardeners and naturalists alike. The prime interest of many of us in weeds is how to get rid of them, and for different species in different conditions Sir Edward gives the modern methods of weed control - a subject that has been revolutionised in recent years by the discovery of selective weed-killers. But the scope of the book extends far beyond this practical business of control. How and why a well-managed garden plant or an introduction from abroad will suddenly become an aggressive weed, the history and geography of British weed flora and effects on them of social or agricultural changes, the distribution of weed seeds - by birds or aeroplanes, in grain cargoes or trouser turn-ups - every aspect is fully and clearly explained, with the biological peculiarities of the different species always in mind. The book is illustrated with photographs and with Sir Edward's own line drawings. The idea that because weeds are a nuisance they mist also be dull is dispelled in a few pages. Not only does the author show that an understanding of these criminals of the plant world will make their control both easier and more interesting: he also imparts to the reader something of his own delight and wonder - which is, after all, the principal aim of this series.

This book was released on 2015-07-04 with total page 188 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Weeds, Poison Plants, and Naturalized Aliens of Victoria, Vol. 1 Since the issue of the Thistle Pamphlet in 1893 the number of plants on the Proclaimed List has increased considerably, and under instructions from the Hon. Geo. Swinburne, M.L.A., then Minister for Agriculture, coloured drawings of all the proclaimed plants not previously figured were prepared for publication. These have been issued from month to month in the Journal of the Department of Agriculture of Victoria with the technical descriptions of the plants in question. The present work contains these plates, together with a full account of the properties and best modes of treatment of all our commoner weeds. This has been written throughout in as popular a character as possible, while retaining strict accuracy. Technical terms have teen avoided as far as possible, and a short glossary at the end of the work will enable the few used to be understood. The order in which these plates were originally issued does not correspond with the systematic arrangement in this work, but it has been judged best to place the plates by the giants which they illustrate. The complete census of the naturalized plant aliens of Victoria will give some idea of the rapid changes which our Flora is undergoing, changes which, in a large number of cases, are changes for the worse. It is to be trusted that the new Commonwealth Customs and Quarantine Regulations, together with the urgently needed Pure Seeds Bill, will check or stop the steady flow into Victoria of obnoxious imported weeds. I have to thank Mr. A. T. Sharp, Assistant Editor of the Journal of Agriculture, for reading the whole work, both in manuscript and in proof, and for considerable assistance in proof correction. Mr. J. W. Audas, of the National Herbarium, has aided in the same matter, as well as in the preparation of the Index.
