A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Excerpt from Profitable Herb Growing and Collecting

The idea, that Herb Growing is a very profitable industry, which a few years ago was industriously circulated by various newspapers in the United States, and subsequently in this country, has doubtless led, in part, to the enthusiasm with which the subject has been taken up by ladies throughout the country, especially by those previously interested in horticulture.

The knowledge that Germany and Austria formerly supplied this country with many herbs, and the patriotic desire that such should not be the case after the war is over, has no doubt also had its influence. But it was soon found that the information concerning this branch of horticulture and medical botany was scattered, and not always reliable.

In these circumstances the authoress, who has widely travelled and is familiar with the native herbs of more than one country outside England, recognising that the names given to plants in different countries were very confusing, since the same English names are applied in the United States as well as in British Colonies to very different plants, has endeavoured to compile a work that would clear up some of the difficulties attending the naming and recognition of herbs, and would bring together as far as possible any items of practical interest from the various publications issued by Departments of Agriculture in different countries concerning the culture, yield, and profitable marketing, of medicinal plants and herbs.

Botanical terminology and the arrangement of the natural orders vary a good deal in different countries, and, apparently for this reason, Miss Teetgen has chosen the most convenient arrangement of the natural orders viz. - She alphabetical one.
