MAN AND PLANTS
Plants — grass, flowers, and trees — grow everywhere: high in the mountains, far out in the ocean and in many deserts and polar regions.
There are over 350, 000 species of plants. Some are so small, that we see them only with a microscope; some are very large, such as the giant sequoia trees1 in California they are over 100 metres high and about nine metres wide. 8 Plants are very old living things. Pine trees live 300-350 years. There were 2000 years old platans in the USSR. Life is impossible without plants. We breathe the oxygen which comes from plants; we eat the food which also comes from plants or from animals that eat plants. Many thousand years ago man built houses and made useful things from timber which he got from trees. He made his clothing from plants too.
Plants also give beauty. People like to look at flowers, at fields of grain; they like to be in the forest.
Man began to change plants about 10, 000 years ago, when he began to grow the first food plants. The first farmers saw that there were good plants and not so good plants. They sowed the seeds of good plants and grew new plants from them. In this way man developed the basic food crops of the world.
For example, the Indians developed little ears of wild corn into large ears with many grains, which we use today. When Christopher Columbus came to the New World the new corn grew over large territory there.

BOTANICAL GARDEN IN LONDON
There are eighty parks in London, large and small. Three of them are in the centre of the city: Hyde Park, Regent’s Park and St. James’s Park. The others are in different parts of London. London is a very green city. In the south-west London, near the river Thames1 there is a fantastic park of Great Britain — the Kew Gardens. It is a botanical garden. All year round you see lots of flowers
there because Kew gets its plants—100, 000 different plants — from almost all countries of the world. The plants, which like hot weather live in greenhouses, for example, palms grow in the palm house. The first palm was planted here 150 years ago. Now not -only palm trees, but bananas and oranges grow here too. Another house, which people like to visit, is the cactus house. Cactuses came here from deserts where month after month it doesn’t rain.
There are hundreds of different trees in 120 hectares of Kew. Some of the trees are 200 years old. The workers of the garden planted them when Kew was quite young. In some countries trees become scarce. The workers of Kew go to these countries and come back with the seeds of these trees and plant them at Kew. Thus the trees which are few in the world, live in this garden.

Kew is important for men, who are fond of nature, trees and flowers, and for young men, who are going to study botany and gardening. Every year sixty young men from all over the world come here for the three-year-course of gardening
at Kew. After this course they work in big parks and gardens in many different countries. In three museums of Kew visitors see timber from the trees of many countries, food plants, medicine plants and industrial plants. 300 people work at Kew now. In fine weather about 20, 000 people a day come to visit Kew.
