Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not
used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad
quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are
images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to
keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the
original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain
imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made
available for future generations to enjoy.

Black Plaques are not to be found proudly mounted on a wall - and
for good reason. What with their commemoration of a brutal
execution outside Westminster Abbey, the selling of sex toys in St
James's Park and an intruder at Buckingham Palace with Royal
undergarments stuffed down his trousers, this is not sort of
historical subject matter that authorities choose to grace a
building's facade or depict on a visitor information board. In
fact, many might hope that such indecorous and inconvenient
episodes remain quietly overlooked. But this book jogs such artful
lapses of memory and at more than one hundred locations across
London, Black Plaques lift the carefully placed rug to discover an
unsightly, but strangely beckoning, stain.
"Native trees grow much faster than non-native trees. But even
experienced horticulturists can be mystified about how nature sows
and germinates seeds especially acorns and walnuts."
Thanks to this book, any gardener can now grow trees from seeds
within as little as ten years. The secrets are to know what seeds
to collect and how to prepare and plant them. From their extensive
knowledge, the authors guide the reader in identifying native
trees, vines and shrubs and describe howto propagate them.
Growing Trees from Seed covers the ecology, abundance, fruit
characteristics and edibility of the more than 200 species
discussed in this book. There is expert guidance on when to gather
fruits, how to extract seeds from the fruit, and when and how to
treat and germinate the seed, plus information on transplanting and
expected growth rate. Alerts throughout the book identify closely
related non-native species now common to various regions.
Many illustrations and descriptions help the reader with plant
identification. A seed-treatment guide provides a handy
reference.
Among the trees, vines and shrubs covered are: Alders Beeches
Berries Birches Cedars Cherries Chestnuts Clematis Dogwoods Elms
Firs and pines Hickories Junipers Laurels Maples Oaks Plums Poplars
Spruces Walnuts Willows.
There is no better guidebook on how to grow native trees from
seed.
