One beautiful ornamental woody tree is the Kwanzan Cherry scientifically named Prunnus serrulata. This beautiful specimen tree has noteworthy characteristics such as bronze foliage with large clustered pink double flowers and distinguishable cherry like bark. Taking a personal interest in the Kwanzan cherry I will discuss history and origin of the tree, uses of the tree, propagation and growing methods, and current and relevant news around the tree. Before hitting the main points, here is some

stars come back every year, too. Rue repels Japanese beetles near fruit trees and roses (and according to some cultures, it also repels ghosts, always a bonus). Bronze fennel, the preferred host of a swallowtail butterfly, is far less attractive to aphids, who won’t come near it. Give your cats a treat and plant them a perennial catnip patch. They’ll have double the fun trying to catch all the pollinators who adore catnip, too. Take it from me, butterflies can fly very quickly when they have to. Sweetly

The short story, “The Chrysanthemums” by John Steinbeck, is based on a farmer’s lonely wife, Elisa Allen, who hides her femininity and disappointments of her marriage by tending to her beautiful garden of chrysanthemums. Since her garden is her pride and joy, John Steinbeck made Elisa’s chrysanthemums the most important aspect of the story. The chrysanthemums symbolize Elisa as a woman- her femininity, her happiness, her sexuality, and her desire to be wanted. In the beginning of the story, Elisa

The Hemlock trees in north Georgia and up and down the east coast are in danger of being totally wiped out due to a rapidly spreading infestation of the Hemlock Woolly Adelgid. This is a small invasive aphid-like insect from Asia with no local natural predator. Hemlock trees are of great importance to wildlife, water and air quality. The hemlock tree is keystone species. That means is that if it is removed from the environment, than a domino effect will follow. The hemlocks demise would affect other

known that insects make excellent vectors for plant pathogens, and using entomopathogenic fungi kills those vectors, thus slowing the spread of the disease in certain areas. On golf courses, the most common vectors include chinch bugs, bill bugs and aphids which are usually very small and occur in large numbers. The fungi in this case is only harmful towards a specific host — which means it is safe for humans and other organisms in the environment. (ENTOMOPATHOGENIC FUNGI AS BIOLOGICAL CONTROL AGENTS)

The Chrysanthemums by John Steinbeck is a short story with an abundance of significance. The Chrysanthemums gives insight on how a women named Elisa Allen is unsatisfied with her day-to-day life in the 1930’s. Elisa is limited by society, and unsatisfied with the dull relationship she has with her husband. Her only escape from such an unfulfilled life is in her garden where she crafts chrysanthemums. Steinbeck uses these flowers as symbolism. These flowers can be interpreted in two different ways;

Crop Introduction Arkansas is ranked at the top of producing many agriculture commodities. One of the commodities being is Corn. Arkansas is actually ranked 22nd in Corn Production. There are many facts that some might not know about Corn such as: • One bushel of corn contains about 72,800 kernels and weighs 56 pounds • There are more than 3,500 different uses for corn, and is in all sorts of products from peanut butter to batteries. • Only 14% of corn grown in the United States is irrigated and

Bios101 Problem Set Three 1. (two points) A researcher is excavating a fossil bed from a Devonian reef, now fossilized in Pennsylvania. She encounters many species that are new to science. a) Which species concept would be most expedient and effective, in the process of collecting, naming, and describing what she finds? Phylogenetic species concept would be the most expedient and effective process of collecting, naming, and describing what she found. Phylogenetic relies on common ancestry

encounters conflict occurs when Elisa is tending to her chrysanthemums in her garden. As she works, Elisa handles the flowers with care and compassion; she makes certain that nothing will come to harm them as though they were her own children; "No aphids were there, no sowbugs or snails or cutworms. Her terrier fingers destroyed such pests before they could get started."
