"But he who is noble devises noble things, and by noble things he stands." "Family" is the word that comes to mind when I describe both the people assisting with this publication and the environment in which it was developed. I'm deeply grateful to all my Noble Foundation "brothers and sisters" who have made this publication possible. I want to give special thanks to Tommy Smith, Felix Peña, Steve Howe, David Miller and Dusty Pittman. Without their contributions, there would be no Noble Foundation Horticulture Center. Also, special thanks goes to the NF Publications and Visual Media Department and fellow Agricultural Division staff for editorial work, design and printing. Most of all, I thank the patriarch of our "family," Lloyd Noble, founder of The Samuel Roberts Noble Foundation and visionary extraordinaire, without whom this work would not have been possible. – Steve Upson, Horticulturist An Old Chinese Proverb:
