Collecting Seeds of Wild Plants and Shipping Live Plant Material

by the USDA Forest Service

Discontinued. Limited stock.

These USDA pamphlet reprints, Collecting and Handling Seeds of Wild Plants (1939) and How to Collect, Label, and Pack Living Plant Material for Long-Distance Shipment (1924), fill a niche in current plant propagation literature. Basic knowledge of collecting and storing wild seeds allows wild varieties to be introduced into gardens; it is also critical as more species are endangered by disease.

Also included are two current USDA titles: How to Identify and Manage Ash Yellows in Forest Stands and Home Landscapes and How to Identify Butternut Canker and Manage Butternut Trees.

Softcover, saddle stitched, 6" × 9", 82 pages. Reprinted in 2005.
