We are very pleased to announce the increased emphasis on the Horticultural Initiatives in its own specialized space in The Real Dirt. In the past we have had stories about the GCA Plant of the Year, a Partners for Plants project, the club or Zone Horticulture Awards or the Propagation Handbook. Now each initiative will be included in the Horticultural Initiatives sec- tion. Each Vice chairman will have a chance to put forth the latest news or requests about their particular area. The Meniece Workshop for 2012 occurred October 221-23, 2012. We have carefully monitored all the lectures which will be reviewed in The Real Dirt and the GCA Bulletin in January and February, 2013. There will a great deal of information for each garden club member as well as ideas for club programs. Watch for these GCA publications! A big thank you to Chris Caudill and her busy Texans for producing another in the great Meneice series. The Propagation Handbook has sold out and we are ordering more. There is a download- able order form in the Horticultural Initiatives section of The Real Dirt. GARDEN CLUB OF AMERICA Return to the Table of Contents THE REAL DIRT! 3 Cypress Mulch - Why Kill a Tree to Grow a Flower? Elva Busch, GCA Conservation Committee Vice-Chair - Forests and Redwoods Editor’s Note: In the last issue of The Real Dirt we erroneously suggested using cypress mulch. The Conservation Committee, through the kindness of Elva Busch, presents the reason for NOT using cypress mulch. Gardeners use mulch to deter the growth of undesirable weeds in the garden, help retain moisture, and improve the general appearance of their garden beds. Any garden supply store carries many types of mulch to choose from. Cypress mulch is one of the less expensive mulches available in most stores. Cypress mulch is created from ground-up leaves, limbs, bark, and sometimes entire cypress trees. Cypress is a natural wetland tree that provides habitat for animals in the southern wetlands of the Gulf region of our country. They filter pollutants from our waters. An important ecological role cypress trees play is to serve as a reservoir for floodwaters and provide storm protection. The devastating Hurricanes Katrina, Rita, and now Isaac have demonstrated how the loss of this natural storm protection has resulted in the loss of hundreds of square miles of wetlands. Cypress mulch used to be a by-product of lum- ber operations. But the increasing demand for it has led to the use of whole trees and, thus, whole forests, for nothing but mulch. Many of the areas where cypress existed in the Gulf region are now gone. Most old- growth cypress forests were clear-cut for lumber decades ago. Most of the cypress we see today is relatively young. Cypress trees can live up to 1500 years and grow up to 150 feet tall and 25 feet in diameter. In areas that are clear-cut of cypress, trees are not being re- planted. Establishing the proper hydrology for cypress seed germination is difficult and rarely successful by man. When the land is left bare, it is easily taken over by invasive pest plants, planted in pine for future log- ging, or drained for development. The cypress forest, its wetlands, and its wildlife are then lost forever. Many thought cypress mulch was a superior mulch, but it is not. The old-growth cypress har- vested before the 1950s was rot and termite resistant. Most of those trees are long gone except for those saved in nature preserves. It takes hundreds of years for a cypress tree to grow the heartwood that used to have those desirable properties. The younger cypress harvested today for mulch are not decay or pest resistant. Mulches can improve water retention in the soil when sun and heat dry it out. Unfortunately, cy- press mulch has a tendency to repel moisture when it is dry or absorb it without allowing it to penetrate the soil and plants in the area when it is wet. There are many alternative mulches available. Purchase other more sustainable mulching materi- als.

  • Karl Jordan: a Life in Systematics
    AN ABSTRACT OF THE DISSERTATION OF Kristin Renee Johnson for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in History of SciencePresented on July 21, 2003. Title: Karl Jordan: A Life in Systematics Abstract approved: Paul Lawrence Farber Karl Jordan (1861-1959) was an extraordinarily productive entomologist who influenced the development of systematics, entomology, and naturalists' theoretical framework as well as their practice. He has been a figure in existing accounts of the naturalist tradition between 1890 and 1940 that have defended the relative contribution of naturalists to the modem evolutionary synthesis. These accounts, while useful, have primarily examined the natural history of the period in view of how it led to developments in the 193 Os and 40s, removing pre-Synthesis naturalists like Jordan from their research programs, institutional contexts, and disciplinary homes, for the sake of synthesis narratives. This dissertation redresses this picture by examining a naturalist, who, although often cited as important in the synthesis, is more accurately viewed as a man working on the problems of an earlier period. This study examines the specific problems that concerned Jordan, as well as the dynamic institutional, international, theoretical and methodological context of entomology and natural history during his lifetime. It focuses upon how the context in which natural history has been done changed greatly during Jordan's life time, and discusses the role of these changes in both placing naturalists on the defensive among an array of new disciplines and attitudes in science, and providing them with new tools and justifications for doing natural history. One of the primary intents of this study is to demonstrate the many different motives and conditions through which naturalists came to and worked in natural history.

In Search of Health, Freedom & Identity: An Analysis of Isabella Bird's and Margaret Fountaine's Renovation of Self through Travel & Travel Writing Abstract “An Analysis of Isabella Bird’s and Margaret Fountaine’s Renovation of Self through Travel & Travel Writing” tracks three interdependent facets of identity that become apparent in the travel literature of Victorian ladies Isabella Lucy Bird and Margaret Fountaine. These facets are: • the socialized self (the identity developed as a result of the society in which one grows up) • the renovated self (the identity developed through interacting with and adapting to other cultures ) • and the edited self (the identity one creates when she writes about her experiences—for my thesis specifically, the identity the author creates to reconcile her socialized and renovated selves) Bird’s and Fountaine’s identities developed very similarly, but modern scholars discuss these women in drastically different terms.

  • ( 240 ) OBITUARY. JOHN HENRY GURNEY. " the Old Order Changeth, Yielding Place to New," and Slowly but Surely Those Who May Be
    ( 240 ) OBITUARY. JOHN HENRY GURNEY. " THE old order changeth, yielding place to new," and slowly but surely those who may be. styled as belonging to the old school of ornithologists are dying out. Having been privileged to know not a few of these older naturalists, I may perhaps -be allowed to say that I have always been struck by their never failing courtesy and helpfulness as compared with the somewhat combative criticism of the younger generation. Possibly this opinion may be due to the veneration of youth for age but, be this as it may, it will be agreed on all hands that the outstanding characteristics of. the late John Henry Gurney were his humility and his kindness. John Henry Gurney came of a family which has been prominent for many generations in the public life of Norfolk where the Gurneys have long been noted for their philanthropy and integrity. His father [John Henry, 6. 1819, d. 1890] represented Lynn in Parliament in 1857 and 1859, and although recognized as a man of affairs was best known as an ornithologist: in his day he stood pre-eminent in his know­ ledge of the Accipitres and Striges and his collection of the Birds of Prey, now in the Norwich Castle Museum, was for a long time the finest out of London. John Henry the younger may be said to have been born an ornithologist; his father, as may well be supposed, having made him familiar with birds, both living and dead, from his infancy. He was born at Easton Lodge, near Norwich, on 31st July, 1848, and was educated at Harrow School.

  • EDWARD WHITTALL (1851–1917) and HIS CONTRIBUTION to the ROYAL BOTANIC GARDENS, KEW Alison and Martyn Rix
    Smyrna, from the sea, in around 1877. From George Maw, The Genus Crocus (1886). EDWARD WHITTALL (1851–1917) AND HIS CONTRIBUTION TO THE ROYAL BOTANIC GARDENS, KEW Alison and Martyn Rix ‘Mr E. Whittall, a merchant of Smyrna, and an ardent lover of plants, has considerably enriched the Kew collection of bulbous plants. He is collecting systematically, and the results promise to be very successful. Already several new things contributed to the herbarium have come to light, amongst them Galanthus ikariae, Tulipa concinna and Fritillaria whittallii.’ [From Kew Bull. Anon. 1893]: Edward Whittall was one of a large family of English merchants based in Turkey. In 1782 his grandfather, Charlton, had left Liver- pool for the flourishing Turkish port of Smyrna, now Izmir, and after a few years, he set up his own trading company, C. Whittall & Co, Curtis’s Botanical Magazine 2011 vol. 28 (3): pp. 213–230 © The Board of Trustees of the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew 2011. 213 which became a member of the British Levant Company; according to the last chaplain of the Company, this was: ‘...the most valuable body of merchants perhaps in the world: there were at one time 800 members, and they had a fleet of twenty four large vessels carrying thirty guns each, trading in different ports of the Turkish dominions...’ The Whittall company’s main trade was in exporting various Turk- ish products, including dye roots, dried fruits, cotton and valonea (for tanning) to England. In 1817 Charlton’s brother James came out to join him in the business. Both brothers married and had many children, but only two sons apiece each confusingly called Charlton and James.

Compton1 1 Spilsbury Farm, Tisbury, SP3 6RU, UK Corresponding author: James A. Compton ([email protected]) Academic editor: L. Peruzzi | Received 15 December 2020 | Accepted 8 February 2021 | Published 12 March 2021 Citation: Compton JA (2021) Lilium leichtlinii subsp. maximowiczii (Regel) J.Compton (Liliaceae): a new combination for Maximowicz’s orange lily. PhytoKeys 174: 1–13. https://doi.org/10.3897/phytokeys.174.62059 Abstract The newly-proposed Lilium leichtlinii subsp. maximowiczii (Maxim.) J.Compton recognises the wide dis- tribution of Maximowicz’s lily and provides long-term stability of the name. Lectotypes are designated for the names Lilium leichtlinii Hook.f., L. maximowiczii Regel, L. maximowiczii var. tigrinum Regel, L. pseudotigrinum Carrière and L. tigrinum var. lishmannii T.Moore. Keywords Lilium leichtlinii, nomenclature, taxonomic conspectus, typification Introduction Lilium leichtlinii Hook. f. was first described by Joseph Dalton Hooker of Kew. His de- scription of this elegant lily was based on a citron-yellow flowered plant with strongly recurving perianth segments spotted with dark brownish-purple as shown clearly in the accompanying painting by Walter Hood Fitch (Hooker 1867: t. 5673). Lilium leichtlinii is endemic to a disparate range of localities in Honshu and the Ry- ukyu Islands, Japan (Hayashi 2016: 113). It is in all probablility a recessive expression of a widespread orange flowered species that occurs in China, Korea, Japan and along the southern seaboard of the Russian Far East.
