Description
Palmers manual of Trees, Shrubs and Climbers by Stanley J. Palmer. Early edition. 'Trees and shrubs and plants of all kinds play a big role in the ecological balance, and are continually engaged in the battle against air, water, visual and mental pollution. By the shade they cast in summer, and through transpiration, trees help to cool the air. They release air richer in oxygen and freer of contaminants after their foliage has screened dust and other pollutants from the atmosphere. Extensive planting alongside freeways in parts of the USA have proved to be effective smog fighters as the fresh air from wooded areas dilute smog build up. Plants protect the soil, shelter it from strong wind and falling rain, and hold it together with their roots. So our topsoil is preserved, and the burden of silt reducee from our lakes, rivers, streams and reservoirs.'A LARGE BOOK THAT WILL REQUIRE ADDITIONAL FREIGHT.
