Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Most conventional gardening books concentrate on how and when to carry out horticultural tasks such as pruning, seed sowing and taking cuttings. Science and the Garden, Third Edition is unique in explaining in straightforward terms some of the science that underlies these practices. It is principally a book of 'Why' Why are plants green? Why do some plants only flower in the autumn? Why do lateral buds begin to grow when the terminal bud is removed by pruning? Why are some plants successful as weeds? Why does climate variability and change mean change for gardeners? But it also goes on to deal with the 'How', providing rationale behind the practical advice. The coverage is wide-ranging and comprehensive and includes: the diversity, structure, functioning and reproduction of garden plants; nomenclature and classification; genetics and plant breeding; soil properties and soil management; environmental factors affecting growth and development; methods of propagation; size and form; colour, scent and sound; climate; environmental change; protected cultivation; pest, disease and weed diversity and control; post-harvest management and storage; garden ecology and conservation; sustainable horticulture; gardens and human health and wellbeing; and gardens for science. This expanded and fully updated Third Edition of Science and the Garden includes two completely new chapters on important topics: Climate and Other Environmental Changes Health, Wellbeing and Socio-cultural Benefits Many of the other chapters have been completely re-written or extensively revised and expanded, often with new authors and/or illustrators, and the remainder have all been carefully updated and re-edited. Published in collaboration with the Royal Horticultural Society, reproduced in full colour throughout, carefully edited and beautifully produced, this new edition remains a key text for students of horticulture and will also appeal to amateur and professional gardeners wishing to know more about the fascinating science behind the plants and practices that are the everyday currency of gardening.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Encyclopedia of Practical Horticulture, Vol. 3: A Reference System of Commercial Horticulture, Covering the Practical and Scientific Phases of Horticulture With Special Reference to Fruits and Vegetables The growing of peaches has assumed enormous proportions. At one time it seemed that this industry, on account of insect pests and fungous diseases, would be abandoned, but by the aid of state and government experiments the grow ers have learned to successfully protect their trees and to adapt varieties to the conditions under which these fruits must be grown, and they are now succeeding.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Encyclopedia of Practical Horticulture, Vol. 2: A Reference System of Commercial Horticulture; Covering the Practical and Scientific Phases of Horticulture With Special Reference to Fruits and Vegetables The number of eggs deposited by a single female exceeds 100, and possibly 200. The eggs remain unchanged, or dormant, in the twigs until the following spring, hatching in May or early in June. The eggs of the buffalo tree hopper are subject to the attacks of at least two minute egg parasites, which often do much to keep the insect in check In general characteristics the larvae and nymphs resemble the adults, but are wingless and covered along the center dorsally with numerous forked or barbed projections. Food Plants All kinds of succulent plants such as weeds and garden vegetables are fed upon, but in this respect the insect is not a serious pest. Remedies The destruction of the insects themselves is hardly practical. By limiting the amount of unnecessary vegetation in and about nurseries and orchards, a great deal can be done toward keeping down the insect in the larval and pupal stages. Pruning out and burning the infested twigs will also materially decrease their numbers. Clean cultivation will probably do more than all other precautions. Canker Worm Notolopus sp. H. F. Wilson In the early spring, after the apple leaf buds have opened, we often find numbers of little darkish colored measuring worms, which feed on the leaves. These are called canker worms and are apparently different from our Eastern canker worms. The eggs of this insect are deposited on the trunks and leaves and hatch in the spring. When first hatched the larvae are very small and such feeding as they do is not apparent. As they increase in size the entire leaf, with the exception of the midrib and larger veins, is devoured. About four weeks after hatching the larvae are full fed and then drop to the ground, enter to a depth of a few inches and pupate. They remain here until late fall or early spring, when they change to the adult insect. The eggs are deposited in masses by wingless moths of sluggish appearance that gradually crawl up a small twig, depositing the eggs as they move forward. The female moth is brownish in color with a slight tinge of gray and measures about three-fourths inch in length. The male moth has not been observed. As the female moth is unable to fly, this species is distributed very slowly, and since the larvae readily succumb to arsenical poisons, there is very little chance for this pest to ever become very serious. The same remark would apply to the fall canker worms. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Encyclopedia of Practical Horticulture, Vol. 1: A Reference System of Commercial Horticulture, Covering the Practical and Scientific Phases of Horticulture, With Special Reference to Fruits and Vegetables First - We are living in the midst of one of the best fruit districts of the world and have learned from practical experience what the fruit grower needs. We have worked in the orchards and studied the varied conditions from the viewpoint of the practical fruit grower. Second - Our fruits, especially our apples, command the highest prices in the markets of the world. This fact is not dependent alone upon the physical conditions under which our fruits are produced, but also upon the methods applied in growing them and preparing them for the market.
