Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: PREFACE: This text provides information about common and uncommon annuals, biennials, perennials, bulbs, ornamental grasses, herbs, and hardy ferns that are adapted to most climates of the United States and Canada. The fourth edition is larger than the previous edition and I expect that a future edition will be even larger. The learning process of a plantsman is a life-long endeavor and I will continue to discover new plants in my travels. The idea for this text started developing when I was a student in a herbaceous plants course at the University of Illinois. At that time, I realized that there was no one text that included identification characteristics and the ornamental and cultural features necessary to obtain a complete understanding of the subject. This idea was further reinforced when I became an instructor of herbaceous plants at Kansas State University. I found it impossible to recommend any one book for student use because each had its advantages and disadvantages. This text provides the student, the professional, and the home gardener with illustrations and concise treatment of plant information. I have had an opportunity to travel extensively in the United States, Canada, Europe, and Great Britain. Information gained in these travels has been incorporated in this expanded fourth edition. There are over 1 20 new plant descriptions and now a total of 384 color photos. Wildflowers and herbs are two examples of plant groups where coverage has been expanded. Since the printing of the third edition of the Manual of Herbaceous Ornamental Plants, I have received many helpful suggestions of how this text could be enhanced. I am indebted to those individuals who took time to contact me with their suggestions. I have assimilated their comments and incorporated them in the fourth edition. The art work for the fourth edition was done by Lynda Chandler.

This book was released on 2015-06-26 with total page 387 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Reports on the Herbaceous Plants and on the Quadrupeds of Massachusetts, 1840: Published Agreeably to an Order of the Legislature by the Commissioners on the Zoological and Botanical Survey of the State Sir, Soon after our appointment on the Botanical Survey, my associate, George B, Emerson, Esq., of Boston, consented to take the charge of the trees and shrubs, and to leave the herbaceous plants to my particular attention. In conformity to this arrangement, I early entered upon the work, and have prosecuted it long; and, in fulfilling the duties of the commission received from the hand of your predecessor in office, I herewith transmit my Report on the Herbaceous part of the Flowering Plants. Except the necessary systematic arrangement, I have laid aside, to a great extent, the technical language of Botany, as being less consistent with the popular object of the Survey. Scientific descriptions have already been published for professed botanists; these were supposed to be designed for the mass of intelligent citizens. The cultivated plants form no small part of agricultural wealth, and are the chief source of it. They seem to merit special attention. The cultivation of even ornamental plants is intimately connected with intellectual and moral habits, and a pure and refined taste. It cannot be believed by the benevolent mind, that the Author of nature has spread over the earth the most delicate and rich beauties of plants and flowers, without designing to attract the attention, and gratify the feelings, of men, or that He intended their beauty and fragrance should be wasted "on the desert air." Those plants, which have not yet been applied to any valuable purpose, are often minutely described in this Report, to lead to the consideration of the proportion of this part of vegetables, and the great ends designed in this amount of vegetable life. The Introduction to the Report is, in part, occupied with the discussion of this interesting subject. Your Excellency need not be reminded, that, while the Report required great labor, it also made necessary a previous attention, for years, to the examination of our plants.
