Identifier/Call Number: D-451 Physical Description: 47.5 linear feet Date (inclusive): 1938-2008 Date (bulk): 1952-1998 Abstract: The Saratoga Horticultural Research Foundation Collection is the organizational and research records of an association of California horticulturalists active from 1952 to 2006. The Foundation's goal was to improve and enrich western ornamental horticulture through the promotion of shade trees, California native plants, and drought-tolerant plants. The collection spans the years 1938-2008 (bulk 1950-1998) and includes minutes, correspondence, financial records, research notes and data, project plans, and photographs relating to the Foundation's operation and horticultural research. Researchers should contact Archives and Special Collections to request collections, as many are stored offsite. History The Saratoga Horticultural Research Foundation (SHRF) was founded in 1952 by a small group committed to improving western horticulture. Named after the location of its original headquarters on Verde Vista Lane in Saratoga, California, the SHRF grew out of nurseryman Ray Hartman's vision of a horticultural experiment station for developing hardy, reliable trees and shrubs for the California landscape. Hartman engaged his longtime friend Maunsell Van Rensselaer, a horticulturalist, and a handful of others interested in examining the possibility of establishing an experiment station as a foundation. Ultimately, the SHRF was established as a non-profit organization under the direction of a Board of Trustees, which was guided by a Board of Councillors drawn from prominent figures in the fields of western horticulture, arboriculture, landscape design, and botany. The Foundation's activities were guided by a director who reported to the Board of Trustees. Maunsell Van Rensselaer was chosen as the first director of the Foundation. During his twenty-year directorship, the Foundation began its work to change the focus of western landscaping towards landscape plants and trees better suited to California's Mediterranean climate. The SHRF's original focus was to promote western shade trees and native California ornamental shrubs, but during the mid-1970s, when a period of drought struck the Sacramento and San Joaquin Valleys, the Foundation expanded its mission to include the promotion of drought-tolerant landscaping. It encouraged the use of California native plants and trees, shade trees to maximize cooling, and alternative plantings for heavily-watered areas. At this time, the SHRF was also investigating plants from Australia, New Zealand, and Chile as potential low-water-use and fire-retardant introductions to California gardens. The SHRF was instrumental in developing the ornamental landscaping familiar to Californians today. The Foundation conducted research into plant quality and propagation methods, evaluated trees and woody plants for street and shade planting, established test sites for investigations into climate and cultural techniques, and ultimately patented varieties of magnolia, Chinese pistache, and olive trees. The SHRF also provided its findings to members of the nursery trade, landscape architects, students, teachers, and researchers. Among the well-known plants and trees the Foundation promoted for home and commercial landscaping are: Liquidambar "Palo Alto" and Ginkgo biloba "Autumn Gold," which provide brilliant red and yellow fall foliage; several varieties of Ceanothus, or California lilac, known for its spikes of purple and blue flowers; and the many varieties of Manzanita commonly used in hedges and ground covers. In 1984, the SHRF decided to sell its property in Saratoga and move the headquarters to a location on Murphy Avenue in San Martin, California. In 1986, the SHRF purchased another seven acres on Silva Circle in Gilroy, California; this extra land gave the Foundation additional room for its expanding research program. In addition to its research work and educational outreach, the SHRF also ran a small nursery. The Foundation was known for its spring plant sales and Fall Festival, both events during which the public could tour the nursery and purchase native and unusual plants. Most of the outreach activities were coordinated and carried out by the Associates of the Saratoga Horticultural Foundation, which was the SHRF's docent and fund-raising group. The Saratoga Horticultural Research Foundation was dissolved in 2006, when the board determined that it had succeeded in its mission to promote the widespread use of native and drought-tolerant plants. The Foundation's fifty-four years of activity were essential in guiding nurseries to continue the Foundation's work to select, evaluate, and introduce climate-appropriate plants to the California landscaping and gardening public. Scope and Content Inventory of the Saratoga D-451 2 Horticultural Research Foundation Collection D-451 The Saratoga Horticultural Research Foundation Collection spans the years 1938-2008, with the bulk of the material falling between 1952 and 1998. The collection contains material relating to the Foundation's administration and to its work to identify and promote shade trees, California native plants, and drought-tolerant plants appropriate to California's Mediterranean climate. The collection includes newsletters, minutes of the Board of Trustees, patent records, project plans, specimen data sheets, and a large series of photographs documenting both Foundation staff and horticultural specimens. Also present is a small series of ephemera and realia and a 16mm print of "Native Trees and Shrubs for California Gardens."

(Strawberry tree) belongs to Ericaceae family, is an evergreen shrub or tree, mostly known around Mediterranean region in natural habitat, has valuable medicinal and aromatic properties. The plant is mainly used for its edible fruits. In addition, A. unedo have increasing importance in afforestration programmes, beekeeping facilities, ornamental purposes and elucidating plant physiology. Therefore, the species is seemingly a promising fruit plant. Orchards are very limited but increasing demand to the plant will result in initiations of establishment new fruit orchards with superior genotypes viz. tolerant to the abiotic stress, resistant to pests and diseases, rich contents in terms of valuable compounds, convenience to postharvest operations, being visually preferable and suitable to target climate. Plant breeding is an important component to overcome elimination of unwanted features and to reach admirable characters. The main steps in breeding are effective selection, succesfully adaptation and inheritance via transferring the features to subsequent generations.

  • Patterns in Ericaceae: New Phylogenetic Analyses
    BS 55 479 Origins and biogeographic patterns in Ericaceae: New insights from recent phylogenetic analyses Kathleen A. Kron and James L. Luteyn Kron, KA. & Luteyn, J.L. 2005. Origins and biogeographic patterns in Ericaceae: New insights from recent phylogenetic analyses. Biol. Skr. 55: 479-500. ISSN 0366-3612. ISBN 87-7304-304-4. Ericaceae are a diverse group of woody plants that span the temperate and tropical regions of the world. Previous workers have suggested that Ericaceae originated in Gondwana, but recent phy­ logenetic studies do not support this idea. The theory of a Gondwanan origin for the group was based on the concentration of species richness in the Andes, southern Africa, and the southwest Pacific islands (most of which are thought to be of Gondwanan origin). The Andean diversity is comprised primarily of Vaccinieae with more than 800 species occurring in northern South America, Central America, and the Antilles. In the Cape Region of South Africa the genus Erica is highly diverse with over 600 species currently recognized. In the southwest Pacific islands, Vac­ cinieae and Rhodoreae are very diverse with over 290 species of Rhododendron (sect. Vireya) and approximately 500 species of Vaccinieae (I)imorphanthera, Paphia, Vaccinium). Recent phyloge­ netic studies have also shown that the Styphelioideae (formerly Epacridaceae) are included within Ericaceae, thus adding a fourth extremely diverse group (approximately 520 species) in areas considered Gondwanan in origin. Phylogenetic studies of the family on a global scale, how­ ever, have indicated that these highly diverse “Gondwanan” groups are actually derived from within Ericaceae. Both Fitch parsimony character optimization (using MacClade 4.0) and disper- sal-vicariance analysis (DIVA) indicate that Ericaceae is Laurasian in origin.
