TttUSCOTi AKD SoN Suffolk Lane, City. PKEFACE TO THIED EDITION. It is highly gratifying to us to find that the Second Edition of this work has had such a rapid sale, and has been circulated widely both on the Continent and in the Colonies, independent of the home demand ; facts which show the opinions of Cultivators, Amateurs, and Gardeners respecting the utility of it. In preparing the Third Edition, it has been our aim to make it as complete as possible, by increasing the number of woodcuts, and adding all the most meritorious new species and varieties of Stove and Greenhouse Flowering Plants up to the present time ; we have also added some cuts of Greenhouses, &c., from which our readers will be able to gain ideas as to the arrangement of their plants, and the forms in which they should be trained for exhibition or decorative purposes ; these additions have greatly increased the size and cost of production of the work, and we have been reluctantly compelled to raise the price to 7/6, which we feel certain our readers will not object to. We have endeavoured to render the instructions herein given as plain and practical as possible, so that any one perusing its pages and acting judiciously may be suc- cessful in the cultivation of their plants. In conclusion, we have to record our thanks to the Editors of the Gardeners' Chronicle, Messrs. Jas. Veitch & Sons, Mr. William Bull, and other kind friends, for the loan of some of the illustrations contained in this edition. B. S. WILLIAMS.

STOVE PLANTS. INTBODUCTION. ilF the earliest races of mankind had possessed no love for plants, and had not been impressed by the grand and noble outlines of the trees of the forest, the importance of these vegetable monarchs would soon have become manifest through their yielding not only the necessaries of life, but, by the aid of attention and culti- vation, supplying also its luxuries. Hence we find that, at a very early age, man was engaged in husbandry, and was busily occupied in cultivating the vine and the corn-pro- ducing plants, as well as trafficking in myrrh and spices. At the time the Greek EepubUc was ia the zenith of its glory, a class of men called Ehizomatse employed them- selves in the digging of roots, and in searching for herbs, which were principally applied to the healing art. Aristotle first founded a natural science of plants, but his writings on this subject have been lost. He was followed by his pupil Theophrastus ; and then for a long period we hear of no one prosecuting the study. The ancient Eomans seem to have 2 ' STO'^'E PLANTS. cultivated a number of plants in their gardens and fields, but tbey never attained to any great degree of eminence in the science, of cultivation. Dioscorides and Pliny were the first among the Eomans to apply themselves to botanical study, but after their time it rapidly died cut. We next find the Arabians occupying themselves in investigating the nature and qualities of plants, principally with the view to their application for medicinal purposes. Passing over the dark ages, and coming down to the fif- teenth century, we find that the study of plants again revived, and that the beauties of the vegetable kingdom were ap- preciated by men of high and low degree. In the sixteenth century one Otto Brunfels, of Strasburgh, published a trea- tise on plants, illustrated by wood engravings. From that time forward, the taste for plants went on steadily increas- ing until the time of Linnfeus, whose philosophic writings gave a strong impetus to the delightful study. Since Linnseus's time the knowledge of plants has been vastly extended by the diligent labours and searching inquiries of men of great and active minds, both at home and abroad, of whom among those of our own country may be named Sir Joseph Banks, Sir James Smith, Sir William Hooker, Eobert Brown, Sir Joseph Paxton, Dr. Lindley, Thomas Moore, Dr. Masters, John Smith, Sir Joseph Hooker, &c., &c., men of whom any country might be proud, and with some of whom most plant-growers of the present day have been more or less intimately acquainted. Our continental neighbours can also boast of many equally great men, who have largely increased our knowledge of plants. Thus, in these days, not only may we gather delights from beholding the beautiful workings of nature in her vegetable garb, but we are also enabled to bring her boundless resources to bear practically upon our daily wants and luxuries. INTRODUCTION. 3 Almost every portion of the earth is clothed with vege- tatioB, each particular plant being adapted to the peculiar circumstances and conditions in which it is placed. Thus, the peat bog, the mountain, and the valley have each a dis- tinct vegetation ; the chalk, the gravel, the clay, and the swamp have each their own peculiar plants. As we ascend mountains, we find the temperature gradually becoming lower, and vegetation decreasing in stature, until the region of perpetual snow where no vegetation exists is reached. We do not intend, however, to enter in these pages upon the geographical distribution of plants, nor to investigate the means by which various genera have been placed in the positions they occupy, except so far as to point out, that as different genera and species in a wild state are subject to different conditions of atmosphere, both as regards moisture and temperature, as well as to varieties of soil, as to the physical and chemical qualities of the materials of which it is composed, it is only reasonable to insist that those who attempt the cultivation of plants, should have some know- ledge of these matters, sufficient to enable them to imitate nature, so far as the artificial conditions with which they may have to deal will allow. The first division of this work is devoted to Stove Plants, that is to say, plants requiring a considerable degree of artificial heat in our climate ; they are plants whose home is in the tropics—in the regions of palms, tree ferns, gigaiitic bamboos, and monster trees whose magnitude would amaze us in this country, the branches of these arboreal giants being in many instances laden with epiphytal orchids, bromehads, aroids, and ferns, as well as with parasitical plants, such as Loranthus, which, like our own mistletoe (Viscum album), derive their nourishment from the sap of their supporter. These parasites decorate the trees B 2 STOVE PLANTS. with an endless variety of gorgeous flowers, while, in addition, their branches are beautifully festooned with largo climbing plants, such as are familiar to cultivators in the species of Comhretmn, Passiflora, Cissus, Ipomcca, Boiigain- villea, Bignonia, and many others, which oftentimes reach from the ground to the very tops of their supporters, and hang across their branches like ropes to neighbouring trees, until the whole forms a tangled mass of splendid flowers and foliage utterly beyond the conception of those who have never seen a tropical forest.

    Tropical Horticulture: Lecture 32 Lecture 32 Citrus Citrus: Citrus spp., Rutaceae Citrus are subtropical, evergreen plants originating in southeast Asia and the Malay archipelago but the precise origins are obscure. There are about 1600 species in the subfamily Aurantioideae. The tribe Citreae has 13 genera, most of which are graft and cross compatible with the genus Citrus. There are some tropical species (pomelo). All Citrus combined are the most important fruit crop next to grape. 1 Tropical Horticulture: Lecture 32 The common features are a superior ovary on a raised disc, transparent (pellucid) dots on leaves, and the presence of aromatic oils in leaves and fruits. Citrus has increased in importance in the United States with the development of frozen concentrate which is much superior to canned citrus juice. Per-capita consumption in the US is extremely high. Citrus mitis (calamondin), a miniature orange, is widely grown as an ornamental house pot plant. History Citrus is first mentioned in Chinese literature in 2200 BCE. First citrus in Europe seems to have been the citron, a fruit which has religious significance in Jewish festivals. Mentioned in 310 BCE by Theophrastus. Lemons and limes and sour orange may have been mutations of the citron. The Romans grew sour orange and lemons in 50–100 CE; the first mention of sweet orange in Europe was made in 1400. Columbus brought citrus on his second voyage in 1493 and the first plantation started in Haiti. In 1565 the first citrus was brought to the US in Saint Augustine. 2 Tropical Horticulture: Lecture 32 Taxonomy Citrus classification based on morphology of mature fruit (e.g.

Conclusion: God speed the barge 303 Appendix 1 315 Appendix 2 322 Bibliography 323 ii Abstract For Britons in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, “the Atlantic” was not a field of study -- it was an ocean. In this dissertation I argue for an environmentally minded Atlantic history, one that is conscious of the ocean as both a cultural and a physical presence. The ocean shaped an early modern Atlantic vernacular that was at its essence maritime, godly, anxious and sociable. The ocean was a conduit to empire, so anything Britons imagined about the oceans, they imagined about their empire as well. Britons could never fully master their empire because they could never master the ocean; it was source of anxiety for even the wealthiest merchants. The fear of extremity – of wreck and ruin – kept those who crossed the ocean focused on the three most valuable Atlantic commodities: a sound reputation, accurate information, and the mercy of God.

  • Grapefruit: the 'Forbidden' Fruit
    Grapefruit: the ‘Forbidden’ Fruit by Dave Arthur and Daemmon Reeve, Treatt plc he most recent addition to the citrus family, the grapefruit was relatively unknown to both Eastern 26 and Western civilizations until its discovery in Barbados in 1750. Since then, it has spread to Ttropical and sub-tropical regions throughout the Western Hemisphere, and is renowned for its distinctive, sweet-sour flavor. Here, the authors review the similarities between the grapefruit and its larger ancestor, the pummelo, and examine grapefruit oil components and their distinct flavor profiles. What’s in a Name? The moniker ‘grapefruit’ has led a precari- ous existence — perhaps a reflection of the very fruit it describes. It is generally FEBRUARY 2004 FEBRUARY ❘ thought that in 1750, Griffith Hughes recorded the first ever description of the grapefruit — calling it the ‘forbidden fruit.’ The less exotic description, grape- fruit, surfaced in 1814 when botanist John Lunan in his work, Hortus Jamaicensis, commented that the fruit was a smaller variety of the pummelo, also known as the shaddock, and should be named after its similarity in flavor to the grape. As the term grapefruit became more VOL. 29 JANUARY VOL. 29 JANUARY commonly used, horticulturists found it misleading and began an attempt to drop the name in favor of ‘pomelo.’ This only added to the confusion due to the likeness of the grapefruit and the pummelo itself.

  • Asian Pears Kiwi
    Asian Pears The term Asian pear describes a large group of pear varieties having crisp, juicy fruit, when mature. The fruit are good to eat when harvested or for several months after picking if held in cold storage. The crisp texture of an Asian pear remains unchanged after picking or storage, unlike the flesh of European pears such as Bartlett or Comice. There are three types of Asian pears: round or flat fruit with green to yellow skin; round or flat fruit with bronze-colored skin and a light bronze-russet; and pear shaped fruit with green or russet skin. Kiwi Kiwi are grown in China, Africa, and California. They need warm climates and protection from strong winds when in the process of growing. The outer skin is a brown color and is covered with short, stiff brown hairs. The inside is a bright green color and is somewhat white in the middle with dark purple or black seeds. The flavor is sweet, and somewhat has a taste of a strawberry. Kumquat (KUHM-kwaht ) These look like grape-sized oranges, and they can be eaten whole. The flavor is a bit sour and very intense. They peak in the winter months and are available from December through June. They grow on small evergreen trees in areas with warm climates. Kumquats’ are a great source of fiber, vitamins A and C, calcium, and iron. They are free of fat, cholesterol, and sodium. Mineola There are several different varieties of tangelos, each a cross between a tangerine and another citrus fruit. The Mineola, a tangerine-grapefruit cross, is especially popular.

Drug resistance have limited the choice of treatment of malaria. Hence, finding the new compounds to treat malaria is urgently needed. The present study aim at investigating the toxicological and anti-plasmodial effects of extracts ofOrange (Citrus sinensis) peels, Grape (Citrus paradisi) and Guava (Psidium guajava) Leaves on Albino rat infected with Plasmodium berghei. Leaves were extracted using soxhlet method and acute toxicity was evaluated. For efficacy test in vivo, standard 5-day suppressive test was carried out. Rats were inoculated with 1x107/ml parasitized erythrocytes of Plasmodium berghei by intraperitoneal injection. The extracts (100,300, 500, 800, and 1000 mg/kg) of each plants were given separately to each group and orally once a day for 5 consecutive days. Average Percentage parasitemia and biochemical indices were estimated. Combisunate (10 mg/kg) was given to infected rats as reference control while untreated control was given only distilled water. It was found that ethanolic extracts of these leaves at different doses showed dose dependent parasitemia inhibition and have no physiological effects.
