Hdp Saveamerica?S Enda~Ered Wdd Ers Hdp SaveAmerica?s Enda~ered Wdd ers Mark W. Skinner Hummingbirds are the primary pollinators of Lilium bolanderi, which is just one of the spectacular native plants featured in the American Horticultural Society's 1987 Endangered Wildflowers Calendar. Many of America's most treasured wildflowers are threatened with extinction. In fact, experts estimate that 10 percent of the species and varieties native to the United States are in jeopardy. Over 50 taxa have already disappeared. Help save our endangered wildflowers by purchasing the American Horticultural Society's 1987 Endangered Wildflowers Calendar.

Unlike the nearby Hortulus, this garden has no special design, but both the assorted heights of the pl ants within it and the varying colors and leaf textures contrast delightfully.

  • Garden and Park Structures Listing Selection Guide Summary
    Garden and Park Structures Listing Selection Guide Summary Historic England’s twenty listing selection guides help to define which historic buildings are likely to meet the relevant tests for national designation and be included on the National Heritage List for England. Listing has been in place since 1947 and operates under the Planning (Listed Buildings and Conservation Areas) Act 1990. If a building is felt to meet the necessary standards, it is added to the List. This decision is taken by the Government’s Department for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport (DCMS). These selection guides were originally produced by English Heritage in 2011: slightly revised versions are now being published by its successor body, Historic England. The DCMS‘ Principles of Selection for Listing Buildings set out the over-arching criteria of special architectural or historic interest required for listing and the guides provide more detail of relevant considerations for determining such interest for particular building types. See https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/principles-of- selection-for-listing-buildings. Each guide falls into two halves. The first defines the types of structures included in it, before going on to give a brisk overview of their characteristics and how these developed through time, with notice of the main architects and representative examples of buildings. The second half of the guide sets out the particular tests in terms of its architectural or historic interest a building has to meet if it is to be listed. A select bibliography gives suggestions for further reading. This guide looks at buildings and other structures found in gardens, parks and indeed designed landscapes of all types from the Middle Ages to the twentieth century.

  • Twenty-Second Biennial Report 59
    Twenty-Second Biennial Report 59 DIVISION OF MINES AND GEOLOGY MARSHALL T. HUNTTING, Supervisor BIENNIAL REPORT NO. 10 P ART I ADMINISTRATION The following report applies to the organization and activities of the Division of Mines and Geology, Department of Conservation, for the period July l , 1962 to June 30, 1964. INTRODUCTION The Division of Mines and Geology is a service agency; its function is to promote maximum utiliza tion of the State's mineral resources. Its only regulatory activities are those in administering the Oil and Gas Conserva­ tion Act. It acts as a clearing house of information on the geology and mineral resources of the State. Known mineral deposits are evaluated through field and office research, and through geologic mapping the basic information is provided that is needed in the search for new ore deposits. The Division collects statistics concerning the occurrence and production of minerals economically important in Washington; publishes bulletins on the geology, mineral resources, and mineral statistics of the State; maintains a collection of rock and mineral samples (at least 5,200 specimens) with special emphasis on those of economic importance or potential; maintains a library (ap­ proximately 13,000 volumes) of books, reports, records, and maps on geology, mineralogy, and mining, with special emphasis on material that pertains to Washington; and makes them available to the public for reference in the Division office. The Division also identifies samples of ores and minerals sent in by the public. The Division is building up a collection of oil well cores and cuttings that are extensively used by oil companies in exploring, both in Washington and as far as 50 miles offshore.
