Weeds of the Farm and Garden (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from Weeds of the Farm and Garden

There has long been needed a book describing the more important weeds of the United States, although there are numerous publications of the United States government and state experiment stations that treat of the more im portant weeds of the United States and Canada and their eradication. The demand for publications of this kind is so great that the editions soon become exhausted.

This work on weeds is here presented to bring some of the more important phases of the subject together in one treatise. Comparatively few books on this subject have been published in America. The treatise by Fletcher and Clark, and a second edition revised by Clark, treat the subject admirably. The work of Darlington and Thurber, American Weeds and Useful Plants, found a welcome place in the botanists' library. The little book by Prof. Thomas Shaw also filled a most useful place in the agricultural literature of this country.
