Saltland Pastures, C V. Malcolm

Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4

However, species and establishment methods are available which can bring at least some of this land back into production.

Toxic Annuals In Horticulture, Robert Dunlop Royce

Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4

THE number of poisonous shrubs and trees that are grown in gardens is very great, and several of these species have been discussed in detail.

Furthermore, this is not confined to the longer lived plants, but it applies equally to the annual plants, both summer growing and winter growing.
