Transactions Of The Massachusetts Horticultural Society For The Year 1905 Vol 1 Classic Reprint PDF Download

Excerpt from Transactions of the Massachusetts Horticultural Society for the Year 1905, Vol. 1 This point is further emphasized by a comparison Of our New England flora with that of Great Britain. Of the species grow ing in the British Isles only above an altitude of feet, i. E., in the mountain country where the primitive vegetation is but little disturbed, 64 per cent are also native in the cold forests or on the mountains of northern New England. But of the species which occur everywhere at low altitudes and in the thickly-settled and closely-farmed districts of England only 23 per cent are. Native to New England as well, while more than 50 per cent have become established in New England as weeds. Opposed to this we have the striking fact that in temperate Europe barely 1 per cent of the wild plants have been introduced from the United States.
