Book excerpt: Gardeners and garden designers are having a love affair with agaves. It's easy to see why—they're low maintenance, drought-tolerant, and strikingly sculptural, with an astounding range of form and color. Many species are strikingly variegated, and some have contrasting ornamental spines on the edges of their leaves. Fabulous for container gardening or in-the-ground culture, they combine versatility with easy growability. In Agaves, plant expert Greg Starr profiles 75 species, with additional cultivars and hybrids, best suited to gardens and landscapes. Each plant entry includes a detailed description of the plant, along with its cultural requirements, including hardiness, sun exposure, water needs, soil requirements, and methods of propagation. Agaves can change dramatically as they age and this comprehensive guide includes photos showing each species from youth to maturity—a valuable feature unique to this book.

Download or read book Agaves of Continental North America written by Howard Scott Gentry and published by University of Arizona Press. This book was released on 2004-02-01 with total page 689 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: New in paperback Spring 2004, this is an indispensable guide to agaves. The uses of agaves are as many as the arts of man have found it convenient to devise. At least two races of man have invaded Agaveland during the last ten to fifteen thousand years, where, with the help of agaves, they contrived several successive civilizations. The region of greatest use development is Mesoamerica. Here the great genetic diversity in a genus rich in use potential came into the hands of several peoples who developed the main agricultural center of the Americas. Perhaps, as the Aztec legends suggest, it was the animals that first showed man the edibility of agave. Evolution in use ranges all the way from the coincidental and spurious, through tool and food-drink subsistence with mystical overlay, to the practical specialties of modem industry and art. The historic period of agave will be outlined here as briefly as that complicated development will allow.

This book was released on 2017-11-19 with total page 60 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Study of the Agaves of the United States Leichtlinia protuberans Ross, A. Protuberans Engelm., has been placed between the genera Polianthes and Agave, on account of its coni cal ovary protruding into the perianth. On July 29th, I collected a monstrous inflorescence of A. Applanata Parryi, in the mountains above Pleasant Valley, a few miles from Fort Bayard. The top of the scape had been broken by some accident, and the plant had made an efiert to produce flowers on a low branch of the inflorescence. These flowers were in a thick mass close to the main axis. All were imperfect or distorted. Some were grown together. The segments in nearly all cases were greatly broadened and frequently thickened. The filaments also were broad and in some cases showed a distinct reversion to the petaloid character. In some flowers it was diflicult to tell whether a certain organ represented a segment or a fila ment, but in the larger and better developed flowers, there was usually an equal number of each, and this number varied from six to five, four, three, and even two. In one large flower the style was irregularly four lobed, and the stigma, three-lobed, one lobe being much larger than the other two. The ovary was usually represented by a short thick mass of tissue with little or no difierentiation. Mr. Webber writes me of finding a monstrous Agave flower upon a plant of what I suppose was A. Rigida sisalana. This flower had stamens and pistils perfectly developed, but was without any ovary difierentiation, and was found growing from a cluster of leaves of the bulb.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Until now, there has not been a single, full-color guide to some of the most recognizable genera of the southwestern United States: Agave, Dasylirion, Hechtia, Hesperaloe, Hesperoyucca, Nolina, and Yucca (the century plants, sotols, false agaves, chaparral yuccas, beargrasses, and yuccas). Some of the species treated in this guide have previously appeared scattered throughout a dozen other field guides, often split roughly between wildflowers and woody plants, or they have been confined to studies of small geographic regions. Still others have appeared virtually nowhere other than in the Flora of North America or in various state floras. Intended for the layperson, Agaves, Yuccas, and Their Kin covers all currently recognized taxa of these seven genera, in alphabetical order, ranging from Texas to the Pacific. Geographically, this guide covers all of the southwestern United States, encompassing southern California, southern Nevada, all of Utah, Arizona, Colorado, and New Mexico, plus western Texas, from Brownsville north through the Panhandle into Colorado, including the Edwards Plateau. It includes forms that may have been discounted at some time by various authors, as well as recently published or as yet unpublished taxa not previously presented in any other book. Complete with almost five hundred color photographs of species in various life cycle stages, Agaves, Yuccas, and Their Kin is a comprehensive, accessible, and much needed field guide for xerophile enthusiasts all across the Southwest.
