This slide script, part of a series of slide scripts designed for use in vocational agriculture classes, deals with commercially important herbaceous ornamental plants. Included in the script are narrations for use with a total of 338 slides illustrating 150 different plants. Generally, two slides are used to illustrate each plant: one slide shows the growth habit of the plant, and the other is a close-up of the plant's flower or foliage. Plants are grouped by flowering period and treated alphabetically in each group by scientific name. At the end of the script are two indexes: one for each plant's scientific name and the other for its common name(s). The introduction to the script also includes suggestions for its use and recommended additional learning activities. (MN)
