The use of ornamental plants in interiorscapes is increasingly being studied for their ability to remove volatile organic compounds, thereby improving the air quality of indoor environments ( Kim et al., 2008 ; Yoo et al., 2006 ). Deterioration of
Abstract
It was appropriate that, in the June 1988 issue of HortScience, Post (1988) reports on the relationships between extension personnel and private consultants and Robinson (1988) reports on the uses of mulches on ornamental plantings, a topic about which recommendations are frequently made for the multitude of professional landscape caretakers and amateur home gardeners.

Plant quality is subjective and situational with desired attributes largely depending on the customer, plant, and season. For flowering ornamental crops, attributes of plant quality can include absence of insect and disease pests, presence of

patents are 61% of all varietal rights and virtually all are for horticultural plants ( Drew, 2010 ). Ornamental plants account for 77% of all horticultural IP rights and 84% of all plant patents ( Drew, 2010 ). The steady growth of bedding and gardening
