A Key to the Common Families of Seed Plants in the Central United States (Classic Reprint)


Book Description

Excerpt from A Key to the Common Families of Seed Plants in the Central United States The families included in the following key represent those growing in the territory from Ohio to Kansas. The number following each family refers to the page on which the family will be found in Britton's Manual of the Flora of the Northern States and Canada, 1901. All important terms used are defined in the glossary which should be consulted frequently by the student; otherwise confusion will probably result, since some of the older terms are misleading or even incorrect. In deciding on any character or set of characters the student, unless absolutely certain, should read all the paragraphs of a given number before making a final disposition of the case. This will usually prevent him from going on the wrong track. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

This 2001 book provides a selective annotated bibliography of the principal floras and related works of inventory for vascular plants. The second edition was completely updated and expanded to take into account the substantial literature of the late twentieth century, and features a more fully developed review of the history of floristic documentation. The works covered are principally specialist publications such as floras, checklists, distribution atlases, systematic iconographies and enumerations or catalogues, although a relatively few more popularly oriented books are also included.

Buchanan's Seeds, 1928 (Classic Reprint)


Book Description

Excerpt from Buchanan's Seeds, 1928 No crop responds more readily than Beans to good soil and cultiva tion. A light, rich, well drained loam which was manured for the previous crop is the most desirable? If too rank manure is used it is apt to make the plant run too much to vine. Beans are very sensitive to both cold and wet and it is useless to plant them before the ground has become dry and warm. The largest returns will result from planting in drills from two to three feet apart. Cover the seed one and one-half to two inches deep and thin the young plants three to six inches apart in the row. If planted in hills, make the hills about two feet apart each way. For succession. Plant at intervals of one to two weeks till midsummer. The plants up to the time of blossoming should have frequent shallow cultivation, but any mutilation of the roots by cultivation after the plants come into bloom is likely to cause the blos soms to blast and so cut off the crop. Cultivation should always be very shallow and it is useless to expect a crop from a field so poorly prepared as to need deep stirring after planting.
