Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Habits of California Plants The subject matter of this book appeared first as a series of papers on California Wild Flowers on the Children's Page of the San Francisco Chronicle. Upon publication, requests came from school teachers in different parts of the state to issue the series in book form. This is the excuse for the book's existence. The plants are introduced through their blossoms, because the flower is the part that appeals to the child, except in the case of trees: but it is hoped that the suggestions as to the habits of the roots, steins, and leaves will be emphasized by the teacher. When the child gains the feeling that each plant is really an individual, with its own peculiar way of doing its life work, the whole out-of-door world becomes a larger, more wonderful realm. The habits of plants was first suggested to the writer by Miss Alice Eastwood, Botanist of the California Academy of Science, in a class connected with her department. To her is due much that is of value in the work. My mother suggested the writing of the papers for the Chronicle and collected many of the specimens for the illustrations. Professor W. A. Setchell and Professor W. L. Jepson of the Department of Botany of the University of California rendered assistance in the study of trees. Professor Jepson loaned some of his photographs and Mr. H. M. Hall, also of the Department of Botany, University of California, secured specimens for the photographs.

Download or read book Growing California Native Plants written by Marjorie G. Schmidt and published by Univ of California Press. This book was released on 1980-12-29 with total page 388 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the first comprehensive book to aid the gardener in making a start with native plants. It takes the gardener through the beginning steps of identifying native plants, evaluating them in relation to conventional garden materials, and learning detailed techniques of propagation and culture. Annuals, perennials (including ferns), bulbs, shrubs and trees are included—with about 350 species treated in detail, and many others included in charts and listings for quick reference. A few California native plants have been in cultivation for a hundred years or so, but widespread consciousness of natives is relatively recent. It has arisen partly because of the recent drought, which natives survived more readily than exotics, and partly because of growing awareness that many natives have become rare or endangered, and may be preserved and perpetuated by cultivation for their ornamental qualities. The book is in full accord with the new trend in landscaping in which the environment, climate, and restricted water supplies are taken into account—not only for gardens but also for parks, roadside plantings, and other large-scale landscaping. Because propagation and cultural methods for many native plants have never been recorded, the author spent years gathering information through correspondence. She has also had personal experience in growing natives for more than 30 years. The result is the first complete, practical, convenient guide for growing native plants. It will be essential for the experienced gardener and the beginner alike.

Practical and informative, Growing California Native Plants is a valuable reference for gardeners everywhere in California and an enjoyable book simply to explore.

Download or read book Edible and Useful Plants of California written by Charlotte Bringle Clarke and published by Univ of California Press. This book was released on 2023-11-10 with total page 259 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Both American Indians and the pioneers knew and used many different plant species-for food, fibers, medicine, tools, and other purposes. This unique book is a guide to identifying more than 220 such plants. But it goes much further-it also tells the reader how to prepare, cook, and otherwise use them. Some of the dishes for which recipes are given have won culinary prizes. All have been tested not only by the author but also by her students and by journalists-who have been uniformity surprised and impressed. The plants are organized by habitat communities. Description, photos, drawings, and distribution information are given. Where poisonous look-alikes exist, they too are illustrated. Much fascinating information about Indian uses of native and introduced species is included. The author emphasizes conservation considerations; the aim of the book is to educate the reader about intriguing uses of the plants, and to tell how to gather and use the most palatable and abundant species without damaging the environment.
