Book Description
Excerpt from A Manual of Farm Grasses The forage grasses are of great interest to the farmer, and the grass crop is in the aggregate one of the most important grown upon the farm. The grasses and the clovers, including alfalfa, are the basis of the stock industry. The call for authentic information upon the forage grasses has been extended and insistent. In the present volume an attempt has been made to supply to the farmer, ranchman, and stockman, and also to the agriculturist and experiment station worker, a compendium of information on the grasses used for forage. The book is intended primarily to give information by which the cultivated grasses may be identified, and by which one may determine their range, adaptibility, and uses. Secondary to this is information on the culture of the grasses. To aid in the identification of the grasses the descriptions are supplemented by drawings from nature by Mrs. Mary Wright Gill, the well-known agrostological artist. In addition to the information on the forage grasses there has been added a brief account of grasses used for other purposes, such as lawns and ornamentals.

Manual of Grasses for North America

ISBN: 1457180987
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 1552
Book Description
Grasses are the world’s most important plants. They are the dominant species over large parts of the earth’s land surface, a fact that is reflected in the many different words that exist for grasslands, words such as prairie, veldt, palouse, and pampas to mention just a few. As a group, grasses are of major ecological importance, as soil binders and providers of shelter and food for wild animals, both large and small. Some grasses, such as wheat, rice, corn, barley, rye, tef, and sugar cane are major sources of calories for humans and their livestock; others, primarily bamboos, are used for construction, tools, paper, and fabric. More recently, the seed catalogs that tantalize gardeners each winter have borne witness to an increasing appreciation of the aesthetic value of grasses. The Manual of Grasses for North America is designed as a successor to the classic volume by Hitchcock and Chase. It reflects current taxonomic thought and includes keys, illustrations, and distribution maps for the nearly 900 native and 400 introduced species that have been found in North America north of Mexico. In addition, it presents keys and illustrations for several species that are known only in cultivation or are of major agricultural significance, either as progenitors of bread wheat and corn or as a major threat to North American agriculture because of their ability to hybridize with crop species. The Manual of Grasses for North America is a major reference work for grasses that will retain its value for many years.
