Book Description

Excerpt from Grasses of North America for Farmers and Students: Comprising Chapters on Their Physiology, Composition, Selection, Improving, Cultivation, Management of Grass Lands; Also Chapters on Clovers, Injurious Insects, and Fungi This volume may appear fragmentary and disconnected and may contain repetitions, and there maybe important omis sions. This is partially owing to the fact that much of the work has been performed at odd hours, sometimes with many days intervening. A full index will enable any one to find the topics which are mentioned. It is hoped that the farmer or general reader who has never studied botany, will find much to interest and help him, while it is believed the agricultural student will find still more. While many points are mentioned and illustrations freely used, no attempt has been made to write a complete account of the structure and physiology of grasses.
