Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from A Practical Treatise on Grasses and Forage Plants: Comprising Their Natural History, Comparative Nutritive Value, Methods of Cultivating, Cutting and Curing, and Management of Grass Lands It has been my endeavor, in the following pages, to treat my subject in a plain, simple manner, so as to enable the farmer to distinguish between the different species of grass by means of the descriptions given, and to awaken an interest in the pursuit of the subject, treating cursorily of the natural history of the grasses, and indicating to the reader the vast field of study which lies open to him in this department. The illustrations, which will be found to be very carefully and accurately drawn, will tend to render the understanding of the test more easy, and thus make interesting to all much that would be attractive only to the scientific student of botany if they were omitted. In looking at the subject in its economical aspect, I have tried to give all that is known to be of value, and have presented the conclusions of practical men in regard to points about which the opinions of individuals actively engaged in agriculture differ. It has been my object, in a word, to give the work an eminently practical character, and not to make it merely a collection of doubtful theories and vague generalities. It must be left to the reader to determine how far I have accomplished this purpose. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
