New journal of native plants.

Native Plants Journal is a new journal providing a forum for dispersing practical information about the growing and planting of North American endemics for conservation, landscaping, reforestation, and restoration. Twice each year, the journal publishes papers that are useful to, and understandable by, growers and planters of native plants, and that contribute significantly to scientific literature. The first issue of Native Plants Journal is now available with full articles with information on fern propagation, Eriogonum seed germination, conservation biology of an endangered goldenrod, establishing native grasses with herbicides, Meehania cordata, and more. Future articles include growing subaquatic vegetation, field performance of California oaks, registering pesticides, a low-tech seed collection system, several propagation protocols using coir as a growing medium, and much more.

First-year, complimentary copies are available while supplies last. Request yours on-line at http:// www.uidaho.edu/nativeplants, or by email at [e-mail].
