MAINE ,Historical Vintage Map,1911 Antique Map LARGE 1911 MAP VINTAGE PRINT MAINE CLOSEUP DESCRIPTION: The largest of the New England states in area, Maine, in 1820, was the 23rd state to join the Union. Its name comes from an ancient French province of the same name. The most sparsely populated state east of the Mississippi River, it's appropriately called the "Pine Tree State," as 90 percent of its land is forest. Not surprisingly, most of Maine's economy is related to timber and the production of paper and paper products although the millions of tourists who flock each summer to "Vacationland" are a significant source of revenue. The capital is Augusta; the state flower is the white pine cone and tassel.

There are about 600 genera and between 9,000-10,000 species of grasses (Kew Index of World Grass Species). It is estimated that grasslands comprise 20% of the vegetation cover of the earth. This family is the most important of all plant families to human economies, including lawn and forage grasses, the staple food grains grown around the world, and bamboo, widely used for construction throughout Asia. Grasses generally have the following characteristics: * Typically hollow stems (called culms), plugged at intervals (the nodes). * Leaves, arising at nodes, alternate, distichous (in one plane) or rarely spiral, and parallel-veined. * Leaves differentiated into a lower sheath hugging the stem for a distance and a blade with margin usually entire; a ligule (a membranous appendage or ring of hairs) lies at the junction between sheath and blade. * Small, wind-pollinated flowers (called florets) sheathed inside two glumes (bracts), lacking petals, and grouped into spikelets, these arranged in a panicle, raceme, spike, or head.

They are variously classified in a family of their own, the Aceraceae, or (together with the Hippocastanaceae) included in the Sapindaceae. This is a debate of very long standing, and Angiosperm Phylogeny Group favours a wide circumscription, as a matter of style. Maples are distinguished by opposite leaf arrangement. The leaves are usually palmately lobed, although palmate compound, pinnate compound, pinnate veined or unlobed shapes occur. The flowers are regular, pentamerous, and borne in racemes, corymbs, or umbels. Their distinctive fruits occur in pairs, called keys (more generally known as samaras), shaped to spin as they fall and carry the seeds a considerable distance on the wind. The derivation of the genus name "acer" is uncertain, as it is a very old name. One of the options is that derives from the Latin acris (sharp), from the hardness of the wood, supposedly used for spears in the past. The leaves in most species are palmately veined and lobed, with 3-9 veins each leading to a lobe, one of which is in the middle. Several species, including the Paperbark Maple Acer griseum, Manchurian Maple Acer mandshuricum, Nikko Maple Acer maximowicziana, and Three-flower Maple Acer triflorum, have trifoliate leaves. The Manitoba Maple (Acer negundo) has pinnately compound leaves that may be simply trifoliate or may have 5, 7, or rarely 9 leaflets. One maple, the Hornbeam Maple Acer carpinifolium, has pinnately-veined simple leaves that resemble those of hornbeams. Maples flower in late winter or early spring, in most species with or just after the leaves appear, but in some before them. Their flowers are small and inconspicuous, though the effect of an entire avenue of maples in flower can be striking. They have five sepals, five petals about 1 to 6 mm long, 12 stamens about 6-10 mm long in two rings of six, and two pistils or a pistil with two styles. The ovary is superior and has two carpels, whose wings elongate the flowers, making it easy to tell which flowers are female. Within a few weeks to six months of flowering, the trees drop large numbers of seeds. Maples are an important early spring source of pollen and nectar for bees, especially honeybees, which use its resources for spring buildup. Maples are used as a food plant for the larvae of a number of Lepidoptera species. Approximate Overall Size: 6 X 9 1/2 inches CONDITION: Book Plate - Excellent Condition. German Text.

ENGLISH ELM,ULMUS CAMPESTRIS,Historical Print ,1894 Antique Wood Engraving ENGLISH ELM,ULMUS CAMPESTRIS,1894 Antique Wood Engraving Historical Collectible Botanical Art PrintEnglish Elm Ulmus minor var. vulgaris (syn. U. procera) is found across most of southern England, in Spain and central Italy. DNA analysis has now identified the tree with the Atinian elm once widely used for training vines in Italy. Its introduction to Spain is recorded by the Roman agronomist Columella in his treatise De Re Rustica, written circa AD 50. Although there are no records of its introduction to England, it is now widely assumed that it too was imported by the Romans, a hypothesis supported by the discovery of pollen in an excavated vineyard. U. coritana (Melville) found in the neighbourhood of Leicestershire has been sunk as a smooth-leaved variant. The English Elm was once one of the largest and fastest-growing deciduous trees in Europe, often exceeding 40 m in height, with a trunk up to 2 m in diameter. The largest specimen ever recorded in England, at Forthampton Court, near Tewkesbury, was 46 m tall. The leaves are dark green, almost orbicular, 10 cm long, with an oblique base and toothed edges. Wind-pollinated, the small, reddish-purple flowers are without petals, and appear in early spring before the leaves. Asexual, it never produces fertile seed, and propagation is entirely by root suckers. Only two mature English Elms still survive in England: the 'Preston Twins' at Preston Park in the centre of Brighton, protected by the city council's rigorous elm sanitization policy. Owing to its homogeneity, the tree has proven particularly susceptible to Dutch elm disease, but immature trees remain a common feature in hedgerows courtesy of the ability to sucker from roots. After about 20 years, these too become infected by the fungus and killed back to ground level. English Elm was the first elm to be genetically engineered to resist disease, at Abertay University, Dundee Some of the most significant remaining stands line the streets of Melbourne, Australia, protected by geography and quarantine from disease Several fine trees also survive in New York, notably the Hangman's Elm in Washington Square Park. The English Elm was valued for many purposes, notably as water pipes from hollowed trunks, owing to its resistance to rot in saturated conditions. However, it is chiefly remembered for its aesthetic contribution to the English countryside, where it sometimes occurred in densities of over 1000 per square kilometre. "Its true value as a landscape tree may be best estimated by looking down from an eminence in almost any part of the valley of the Thames, or of the Severn below Worcester, during the latter half of November, when the bright golden colour of the lines of elms in the hedgerows is one of the most striking scenes that England can produce" Approximate Overall Size: 6 X 9 1/2 inches CONDITION: Book Plate - Excellent Condition.

It is a deciduous shrub or small tree, reaching a height of 6-14 m, rarely to 20 m. The leaves are 5-12 cm long and from 3-8 cm wide, broader than most other willows. The flowers are down-like 3-7 cm long catkins in early spring. The seeds are very small (about 0.2 mm) and have fine hairs to aid in dispersal; they require bare soil to germinate. Goat Willow is at home in both wet environments, such as riverbanks, and drier sites, wherever bare soil is available. Unlike almost all other willows, Goat Willow does not take root readily from cuttings; if a willow resembling a Goat Willow does root, it is probably a hybrid with another species of willow (hybrid willows are a frequent occurrence). Both tannin and salicin can be extracted from Goat Willow bark. The tree is not considered a good source of timber as its wood is both brittle and known to crackle violently if burned. Its common name refers to its spring foliage being a favoured forage item of goats.The Crack Willow (Salix fragilis) is a willow native to Europe and Asia. It is a rapid growing tree to 27 m tall, usually growing beside rivers. The leaves are bright green, 9-15 cm long and 1.5-3 cm wide, with a finely serrated margin. The flowers are catkins, produced in early spring. The name derives from the twigs which break off very easily and cleanly at the base with an audible crack. The broken twigs and branches take root readily, enabling the species to colonise new areas, particularly where the broken twigs fall into rivers and can be carried some distance downstream. It is particularly adept at colonising new riverside sandbanks formed after floods.

MEDICINAL PLANTS - Showing the Fruit and Flower,1894 Antique Wood Engraving MEDICINAL PLANTS - Showing the Fruit and Flower,1894 Antique Wood Engraving Historical Collectible Herbal Art PrintHerbalism, also known as phytotherapy, is folk and traditional medicinal practice based on the use of plants and plant extracts. Finding healing powers in plants is an ancient idea. People in all continents have long used hundreds, if not thousands, of indigenous plants for treatment of various ailments dating back to prehistory. There is evidence that Neanderthals living 60,000 years ago in present-day Iraq used plants for medicinal purposes (found at a burial site at Shanidar Cave, Iraq, in which a Neanderthal man was uncovered in 1960. He had been buried with eight species of plants) These plants are still widely used in ethnomedicine around the world. The first generally accepted use of plants as healing agents were depicted in the cave paintings discovered in the Lascaux caves in France, which have been Radiocarbon dated to between 13,000 - 25,000 BCE. Over time and with trial and error, a small base of knowledge was acquired within early tribal communities. As this knowledge base expanded over the generations, tribal culture developed into specialized areas. These 'specialized jobs' became what are now known as healers or Shaman. Plants have an almost limitless ability to synthesize aromatic substances, most of which are phenols or their oxygen-substituted derivatives such as tannins. Most are secondary metabolites, of which at least 12,000 have been isolated, a number estimated to be less than 10% of the total. In many cases, these substances (esp. alkaloids) serve as plant defense mechanisms against predation by microorganisms, insects, and herbivores. Many of the herbs and spices used by humans to season food yield useful medicinal compounds. Approximate Overall Size: 12 X 9 1/2 inches CONDITION: Book Plate - Excellent Condition.

Their popularity relates both to their variety and to their three season contribution to the garden. Ornamental grasses vary in sizes from a few inches to several feet. Pampas Grass is easily recognizable and many people have seen small quite blue grasses in commercial landscapes. What many people do not know is that grasses come in asdhfl;hasdf brown, blue, red, green, cream, and variegations that don't stop. There are Miscanthus grasses whose variegations are horizontal, and appear even on a cloudy day to be stippled with sunshine. What gives grasses their long season is that the new growth is lush and beautiful, the summer appearance can be spectacular, and the inflorescences (grasses' equivalent of flowers) are often dramatic and long lasting. Many Miscanthus and Pennisetums bloom in mid or late summer, and the blooms are long lasting; many gardeners do not cut them down until February. Some Stipas bloom in the spring, the inflorescence standing almost six feet above the clumps of leaves, and again the blooms last late into the winter. Almost all ornamental grasses are perennials, that is they come up in spring, from their roots, which have stored large quantities of energy, and come fall or winter go dormant. A small percentage are evergreen, and even fewer are annuals. Like most garden plants ornamental grasses are identified by genus (a family group) and species (actual plants). A few grasses are simply species and can be grown from seed. Most are 'cultivars', a particular line of some species, and must be propagated by dividing an existing plant.

The genus has a cosmopolitan distribution; the highest diversity is found in the temperate Northern Hemisphere, but many species also occur in South America and Africa, including at high altitudes on mountains in the tropics. They are small annual, biennial, or short-lived perennial herbaceous plants. The leaves are trifoliate (rarely 5- or 7-foliate), with stipules adnate to the leaf-stalk, and heads or dense spikes of small red, purple, white, or yellow flowers; the small, few-seeded pods are enclosed in the calyx. Other closely related genera often called clovers include Melilotus (sweet clover) and Medicago (alfalfa or 'calvary clover'). The "shamrock" of popular iconography is an unrelated genus, Oxalis, or Wood Sorrel. The scientific name derives from the Latin tres, "three", and folium, "leaf", so called from the characteristic form of the leaf, which has three leaflets (trifoliate); hence the popular name trefoil. Clovers are used as food plants by the larvae of some Lepidoptera species.

VARIOUS FORMS OF ALGAE,1894 phycology algology Print VARIOUS FORMS OF ALGAE,1894 phycology algology Print Historical Collectible Art PrintAlgae (singular alga) encompass several different groups of living organisms that capture light energy through photosynthesis, converting inorganic substances into simple sugars using the captured energy. Algae have been traditionally regarded as simple plants, and indeed some are closely related to the higher plants. Others appear to represent different protist groups, alongside other organisms that are traditionally considered more animal-like (that is, protozoa). Thus algae do not represent a single evolutionary direction or line, but a level of organization that may have developed several times in the early history of life on earth. Algae range from single-celled organisms to multi-cellular organisms, some with fairly complex differentiated form and (if marine) called seaweeds. All lack leaves, roots, flowers, and other organ structures that characterize higher plants. They are distinguished from other protozoa in that they are photoautotrophic, although this is not a hard and fast distinction as some groups contain members that are mixotrophic, deriving energy both from photosynthesis and uptake of organic carbon either by osmotrophy, myzotrophy, or phagotrophy. Some unicellular species rely entirely on external energy sources and have reduced or lost their photosynthetic apparatus. All algae have photosynthetic machinery ultimately derived from the cyanobacteria, and so produce oxygen as a by-product of photosynthesis, unlike non-cyanobacterial photosynthetic bacteria. Algae are usually found in damp places or bodies of water and thus are common in terrestrial as well as aquatic environments. However, terrestrial algae are usually rather inconspicuous and far more common in moist, tropical regions than dry ones, because algae lack vascular tissues and other adaptions to live on land. Algae can endure dryness and other conditions in symbiosis with a fungus as lichen. The various sorts of algae play significant roles in aquatic ecology. Microscopic forms that live suspended in the water column called phytoplankton provide the food base for most marine food chains. In very high densities (so-called algal blooms) these algae may discolor the water and outcompete or poison other life forms. Seaweeds grow mostly in shallow marine waters. Some are used as human food or harvested for useful substances such as agar or fertilizer. The study of algae is called phycology or algology.
