摘要

Over the course of my career in the green industry, I have become "friendly" with a diverse assortment of landscape plants. Often, I've wondered how the plants got their names. For example, how did Syringa meyeri 'Palibin' come to be called dwarf Korean lilac? After all, a plant that grows to be at least 8 feet high and wide can hardly be considered a dwarf. And then there is Lonicem xylosteum, European fly honeysuckle. What's up with that? I have used Lonicera xylosteum 'Emerald Mound' on occasion,but never have I mentioned to a client that it is also known as "European fly honeysuckle." This brings me to the heart of my story about Amelanchier 'Cole's Select' and how this cultivar's name came to be in the nursery industry. In the mid-1970s, my firm opened its garden center, and our intent was to feature well-known landscape plants along with newer, improved varieties—or cultivars, as they came to be known. Thus, whenever a new edition of a wholesale nursery catalog arrived, I read through thepages, seeking that new plant that would be a welcome addition to any landscape. We became very reliant on several wholesale suppliers, such as Monrovia, Mount Arbor, J. Frank Schmidt and especially the Cole Nursery Co. of Circleville, Ohio. One of the things I liked most about Cole was the fact that they introduced many new trees to the nursery industry, and they were a first-class operation: good quality, good grading, reasonable pricing. We bought primarily bare root trees and shrubs fi:om Cole, including Imperial, Skyline and Sunburst honey-locust, all of which were Cole's introductions. Snowdrift, Red Jewel and White Cascade crabapples were some of my favorites. And, of course, Cole had introduced Rhamnus frangula 'Columnaris', or tallhedge buckthorn. Everybody has a bad hair day once in a while.

Frank Schmidt),尤其是俄亥俄州Circleville的科尔托儿所。我最喜欢Cole的一件事是,他们为苗圃业引进了许多新树,而且它们是一流的运营:优质,分级,合理的价格。我们主要从Cole购买了裸露的树根和灌木,包括Imperial,Skyline和Sunburst蜂蜜刺槐,这些都是Cole的介绍。斯诺德里夫特(Snowdrift),红色珠宝(Red Jewel)和白色小瀑布海棠(White Cascade)海棠是我的最爱。而且,当然,科尔还引进了鼠李鼠李'Columnaris',或沙棘鼠李。每个人偶尔都会有坏头发的一天。
