A great green hooligan vine starts to grow and threatens to take over the whole town until one boy finds out how to control it.

    This comprehensive handbook, acclaimed when it was first published in 1976 as one of the most useful reference manuals on diagnostic entomology yet produced, has now been completely revised and expanded to reflect recent advances in technology and the wealth of new information affecting the Green Industry.Augmented by 241 full-color plates, it gives the essential facts about more than 900 species of insects, mites, and other animals that injure woody ornamental plants in the United States and Canada, and provides means of quick visual identification of both the pests and the damage they cause.

    The first nontechnical guide to both the cultural significance and physiological effects of hallucinogens, HALLUCINOGENIC PLANTS will fascinate general readers and students of anthropology and history as well as botanists and other specialists. All of the wild and cultivated species considered are illustrated in brilliant full color.

    It includes an illustrated guide identifying 70 wild plants and a collection of 350 recipes for serving up the forager's finds. For all regions.

    

    The cactus family, alone, has over 1,300 species; succulents can be found in many plant families, so that the number of species is well more than double the number for cactus. To be sure, many of these plants are botanical curiosities, representing nature's ingenuity in adapting plants to environmental extremes; yet these same oddities, when used properly, can become the exclamation points in more conventional gardens.The objective of this book is to give you down-to-earth advice on the care of succulents and cactus--both indoors and out--and to suggest a variety of possibilities for their use. The miniaturist can find limitless ways to derive pleasure growing the smaller kinds indoors, while the outdoor gardener can fit both large and small ones into almost any garden scheme. The fancier of colorful exotic flowers can find an abundance of different plants which will produce blooms to surprise and delight the eye. We hope this book will be your inspiration to look into the vast and varied world of succulents and cactus.
