Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from And Other Forage Plants: For the Southern United States This little manual has been prepared at the urgent solicitation of many planters for many years. It is written in as plain, simple language as would well be done; so that any intelligent reader may easily understand it all. Full descriptions in plain English of all the plants mentioned would have much more than doubled the size of the book; technical descriptions would be hard to comprehend, and hence it was deemed best to go first the botanical name of each plant, so that any desiring, may consult such books as Gray´s, Chapman´s, or Wood´s recent works for fuller descriptions. The more important distinctive characters are given whenever deemed necessary. Much more time and labor have been expended in collecting and correcting synonyms, and carefully identifying plants by their popular or common, names, than in all the other portions of the work together. A number of plants new or unknown to most farmers have been described at some length, especially when giving promise of much agricultural value. Many others of little worth are mentioned, that farmers may not waste time and money in experimenting with them. Man that are very valuable are too briefly treated because the space assigned me would not admit of fuller detail. And for the same reason many important topics have not been even mentioned. My own experiences and practises have been given quite freely as requested by friends. The work has been prepared in the intervals of other absorbing labors, with an average of not less than twenty interruptions for every page. It has been printed from the original rough draft as it has been impossible to find time to copy or revise it. For the same reason a few typographical errors may have escaped uncorrected. In spite of all efforts to the contrary, the work contains over 50 per cent more than the limits assigned me would have permitted. Should health and leisure permit, I desire at some future time to prepare a large illustrated work on all the Forage Plants of the Southern United States.
