About the Book

This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1849 edition. Excerpt: ... Art. IV. Notice of a fine and showy species of Cowparsnep. (Herac/eum Wilhe'lmsii.) By John Lewis Russell, Prof. Bot. and Veg. Physiol. Mass. Hort. Soc, &c., &c. In 1844, Professor Fischer, of the Imperial Botanic Garden at St Petersburg, forwarded to the Massachusetts Horticultural Society a collection of seeds, out of which I was so fortunate as to raise the interesting subject of this article. The seeds were sown in April of that year, but the plants did not make their appearance until the following Spring. In June, 1846, two surviving plants, out of the only three which vegetated, produced flowers; and for the successive seasons have rendered themselves eminently conspicuous for magnitude of dimensions, as well as for elegance of style in inflorescence. Any one who is familiar with dark, shady, and rich woods on rocky soils in this vicinity, must have frequently noticed, in the month of June, a tall plant, with coarse, downy foliage, commonly known as cowparsnep, and incorrectly called by some, "master wort." Passing through Harmony Grove, in which the cemetery grounds of Salem, Massachusetts, are located, early in that month, my attention was arrested by a fine natural groupe of these cowparsneps, covering the shelving sides of a slope, and giving to the spot the air of some exotic culture. The peculiar beauty which this otherwise coarse plant threw around the scene, suggested to me that some of its foreign co-species might, perhaps, be worthy of cultivation, as well adapted to cover such grounds which are often filled with unseemly briars. I wished that I could have seen, at the time, the Siberian species, which, of the foreign species, is the only one known to me, and which, as an object of curiosity, I shall attempt to describe....
