Guidelines for Seed Exchange and Plant Introduction in Tropical Crops (FAO Plant Production and Protection Paper, No 76/Pbn F3043) by Jorge Leon, Lyndsey Withers Paperback (1987) Food & Agriculture Org; Seed Savers Exchange the First Ten Years by Kent Wheally Paperback (1940) Forages: The Science of Grassland Agriculture by Robert Barnes, Darrell Miller, Jerry Nelson Hardcover (1995) Field Guide to the Broad-Leaved Herbaceous Plants of South Texas: Used by Livestock and Wildlife by James Everitt, Dale Drawe, Robert Lonard Paperback (1999) Much-Needed Photographs of Rapidly Disappearing Plants Reviewer: A reader, 1999 A must-have for every library in south Texas. This well-organized book fills a large gap in reference material about vegetation which remains undisturbed on less than 95% of south Texas' landmass. Placement of photos and construction of keys make this an excellent introductory text for students of botany. It's the first volume I can recommend to junior-high and high school teachers as a "user-friendly" approach to keying south Texas herbs. Lots of south Texas plants remain unmentioned here, however. Let us not assume that they are nonnative or without "use to livestock and wildlife." |
