Book Description
Aloes are attractive plants and there is something for every position in the garden, from small, dainty plants through to shrubs and large trees. Most prefer hot sun and good drainage, but some are happy in shady corners. And many flower in winter which is great - colour when the garden can easily be drab. They also provide food for birds when other sources may be scarce. The endless variation on a basic form of rosette with green leaves, a spiny edge and a red flower makes aloes fascinating to grow. Although many aloes are superficially similar, all are unique in some way. This book lists and describes most of the hundreds of aloe species and illustrates 90 of them with full colour photos.

An Illustrated History of the Herbals
Author: Frank J. Anderson
Publisher: iUniverse
ISBN: 1583481141
Category : Botany, Medical
Languages : en
Pages : 290
Book Description
This book is a fascinating and beautifully illustrated history of herbal texts throughout the world from ancient cultures through the seventeenth century. An “herbal” by definition is a book that is descriptive of plants and the term did not come into use until the sixteenth century. The production of herbals is closely connected to the history of early printing and offers the finest examples of this art and craft. However, the earliest records of ancient Egypt, Sumer and China all reflect a tradition of works of botanicals and their medicinal properties long before printing. The author’s survey begins with a work called De materia medica written in the first century which is extant and, as the final authority on pharmacy for 1500 years, is the most important herbal ever written. The study of herbals offers a rich history of the culture and beliefs from the folklore and science of medieval and classical worlds.
