Friends & Gardeners, Welcome to the fiftieth anniversary issue of our spring catalog. Once again, we have made some very positive and exciting changes here at the nursery. A business, like a garden and life itself, is an evolutionary process. So, in addition to our usual winter mainte- nance projects you will notice that our old logo from the 70’s has been updated to reflect the evolution the nursery has undergone these past four decades. To that end, with this cat- alog marking our fiftieth year, we are proud and excited to introduce our fresh, new look. Another exciting change involves the renovations to the barn affectionately referred to as the “pottery barn”.The design team of Jim, Matt and Will have spent all win- ter converting the space into their new studio. This will allow them to continue to grow as one of Fairfield County’s most able landscape design build firms. I invite you all to stop by this spring and see all that is new, but more importantly all that is the same - namely the knowledgeable and friendly people you have come to trust in helping you develop your gardens and properties to their fullest potential. Sincerely, Scott Friends, A few days ago Scott called me and requested that I write the introduction for the nursery's fiftieth anniversary. Hundreds of thoughts raced through my mind as I set out to write a " tome" - and then Jed called to say I only had two days! Well, the so called "tome" will have to wait for the nursery newsletter! Sometimes over studied and over thought words are, at best, adeqate. But, words off the cuff and from the heart are the best - so here goes: Every time I visit the nursery I am overwhelmed with pride, admiration and nostalgia! I think back to my father's original aim of offering only the best, and of introducing to the local clientele azaleas and rhododendron not offered elsewhere. He was successful, and, that same aim has persisted with every species of plant life we presently offer. This vision of a nursery that focuses on pioneering, not competing, has helped garner Oliver Nurseries the reputation it so richly deserves! At no other nursery will you find more pleasant and inspiring natural surroundings, more knowledgable plant people, willing to help, and plants that are healthier and better cared for! For these reasons I commend Scott, and all those who have contributed so much to the Oliver Nurseries legacy over these past fifty years. My heart swells every time I have the opportunity to revisit my father's, and my own, dream, fulfilled. You all know who you are, some are gone, some elsewhere on their own horticultural ventures, and some still with the nursery - my most sincere thanks and gratitude!! I'm like a very proud papa!!!!! Sincerely, John W. Oliver Terms of Business Guarantee We guarantee that all plants sold by us are true to name. This guarantee is limited to the purchase price of the plant. We offer no guarantee as to the hardiness, growth, or performance of any stock we sell, since we have no control over its handling or care after it leaves our nursery, nor of the weather conditions to which it may be subjected. The hardiness ratings in this catalog are based on the U.S. Department of Agriculture Plant Hardiness Map. They represent our opin- ion, or the best opinion available to us, and are offered as a service only, and not as a guarantee. Landscape Guarantee All woody plants, planted by us, are guaranteed for two full growing seasons. Unless otherwise specified, all guarantees are void if full payment is not received within 30 days of job completion. Gift Certificates Today’s gift . that can be planted anytime. For the plant lover or the new home- owner, a nursery gift certificate makes a most appropriate holiday, birthday, or anniversary present. Available at the nursery for pick up, or we would be happy to send the certificate direct to the recipient for you. Design Services Oliver Nurseries has been serving Fairfield County for fifty years! During that time we have become a resource for all aspects involved with landscaping includ- ing design, plant installation, masonry, site work, drainage, walkway and driveway designs. Because we are a small company, we are very hands on, and pride our- selves in giving special attention to every detail. From design to installation, we have the resources to make your dreams a reality.

The landscape character of the Badger Mountain South community as identified in these standards borrows heavily from the precedent of the original shrub-steppe landscape found here. However that historical character is joined with other opportunities for a more refined and urban landscape pattern that relates to edges of uses and defines spaces into activity areas. This section is divided into the following sub-sections: Guiding Principles, which suggest the overall orientation for all landscape applications; Common Standards, which apply to all Districts; District-specific landscape standards; and finally extensive plant lists of materials suitable in a variety of situations. 1.

SIBBALDIA: 121 The Journal of Botanic Garden Horticulture, No. 16 POLLINATION, MATING SYSTEM, PHENOLOGY AND CHARACTERISATION OF MEDINILLA MULTIFLORA MERR. (MELASTOMATACEAE) ON MT MAKILING, PHILIPPINES J. Peter Quakenbush1 ABSTRACT An investigation into the reproductive biology of Medinilla multiflora Merr. (Melastomataceae) from Mt Makiling, Luzon, is presented. This includes a morphological and distributional exami- nation of the population on the mountain, the documentation of reproductive phenological patterns, a study of the mating system and observations of biotic interactions. Measurements were made of trait variability, reproductive phenology was characterised from field and herbarium observations, stigmatic receptivity was tested by counting pollen germination, insect exclusion and hand-pollination experiments helped determine the mating system and field observations recorded the identity and behaviour of floral visitors. Significant reproductive morphological differences were found between described populations. This identified a need for the recognition of this diversity and further delimitation of the Medinilla multiflora species complex. Although Medinilla multiflora produced flowers and fruit year-round, the population also exhibited cycles of increased reproduction most likely initiated by seasonal low temperatures.

    American Journal of Botany 96(1): 96–109. 2009. O NE SIZE FITS ALL? M OLECULAR EVIDENCE FOR A COMMONLY INHERITED PETAL IDENTITY PROGRAM IN RANUNCULALES 1 David A. Rasmussen, 2 Elena M. Kramer, 3 and Elizabeth A. Zimmer 4 Department of Organismic and Evolutionary Biology, Harvard University, Cambridge, Massachusetts 02138 USA Petaloid organs are a major component of the fl oral diversity observed across nearly all major clades of angiosperms. The vari- able morphology and development of these organs has led to the hypothesis that they are not homologous but, rather, have evolved multiple times. A particularly notable example of petal diversity, and potential homoplasy, is found within the order Ranunculales, exemplifi ed by families such as Ranunculaceae, Berberidaceae, and Papaveraceae. To investigate the molecular basis of petal identity in Ranunculales, we used a combination of molecular phylogenetics and gene expression analysis to characterize APETALA3 (AP3 ) and PISTILLATA (PI ) homologs from a total of 13 representative genera of the order. One of the most striking results of this study is that expression of orthologs of a single AP3 lineage is consistently petal-specifi c across both Ranunculaceae and Berberidaceae. We conclude from this fi nding that these supposedly homoplastic petals in fact share a developmental genetic program that appears to have been present in the common ancestor of the two families. We discuss the implications of this type of molecular data for long-held typological defi nitions of petals and, more broadly, the evolution of petaloid organs across the angiosperms. Key words: APETALA3 ; MADS box genes; petal evolution; PISTILLATA ; Ranunculales.

  • Atoll Research Bulletin No. 503 the Vascular Plants Of
    ATOLL RESEARCH BULLETIN NO. 503 THE VASCULAR PLANTS OF MAJURO ATOLL, REPUBLIC OF THE MARSHALL ISLANDS BY NANCY VANDER VELDE ISSUED BY NATIONAL MUSEUM OF NATURAL HISTORY SMITHSONIAN INSTITUTION WASHINGTON, D.C., U.S.A. AUGUST 2003 Uliga Figure 1. Majuro Atoll THE VASCULAR PLANTS OF MAJURO ATOLL, REPUBLIC OF THE MARSHALL ISLANDS ABSTRACT Majuro Atoll has been a center of activity for the Marshall Islands since 1944 and is now the major population center and port of entry for the country. Previous to the accompanying study, no thorough documentation has been made of the vascular plants of Majuro Atoll. There were only reports that were either part of much larger discussions on the entire Micronesian region or the Marshall Islands as a whole, and were of a very limited scope. Previous reports by Fosberg, Sachet & Oliver (1979, 1982, 1987) presented only 115 vascular plants on Majuro Atoll. In this study, 563 vascular plants have been recorded on Majuro. INTRODUCTION The accompanying report presents a complete flora of Majuro Atoll, which has never been done before. It includes a listing of all species, notation as to origin (i.e. indigenous, aboriginal introduction, recent introduction), as well as the original range of each. The major synonyms are also listed. For almost all, English common names are presented. Marshallese names are given, where these were found, and spelled according to the current spelling system, aside from limitations in diacritic markings. A brief notation of location is given for many of the species. The entire list of 563 plants is provided to give the people a means of gaining a better understanding of the nature of the plants of Majuro Atoll.

  • Evolutionary Consequences of Dioecy in Angiosperms: the Effects of Breeding System on Speciation and Extinction Rates

The University of British Columbia Vancouver, Canada http://www.library.ubc.ca/spcoll/thesauth.html ABSTRACT Dioecy, the breeding system with male and female function on separate individuals, may affect the ability of a lineage to avoid extinction or speciate. Dioecy is a rare breeding system among the angiosperms (approximately 6% of all flowering plants) while hermaphroditism (having male and female function present within each flower) is predominant. Dioecious angiosperms may be rare because the transitions to dioecy have been recent or because dioecious angiosperms experience decreased diversification rates (speciation minus extinction) compared to plants with other breeding systems.
