Book Description
Excerpt from Guayule (Parthenium Argentatum Gray): Rubber-Plant of the of Desert the Desert Dr. Theo. Holm has afforded me the benefit of his criticism of the portion of this work treating of the anatomy, and has been good enough to examine inaccessible literature for me. Dr. W. E. Safford did a like service regarding a few pages in the first chapter. T 0 Prof. W. L. Bray I am indebted for information about the Texas guayule fields, later verified by me personally and to my colleagues, Prof. C. L. Hare and Prof. J. P. C. Southall, for assistance in making chemical analyses and for mathematical formulae, respectively. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book Description
This report examines the state of knowledge and the future promise of guayule Parthenium argentatum Gray, a little known shrub native to the desert of southwest Texas and northern Mexico that was a commercial source of natural rubber during the first half of this century.This perennial shrub thrives in arid conditions and can survive heavy frosts. Guayule, after thorough drying, has been found to contain as much as 26% rubber. This rubber can be used to make vehicle tires or any other item currently made with natural rubber. It is a promising plant for use in reforestation of desert fringe lands and is easy to grow. Extraction of the rubber is not technically difficult; in fact, small-scale household extraction is possible. The plant can be cut down to the ground and will grow again from the roots.The book covers: background and history, botanical information, rubber extraction, agricultural production, rubber quality, economics, research needs, selected readings and recommendations.When guayule grows actively, it produces little or no rubber. If the plant is stressed, growth slows and the products from photosynthesis are diverted into rubber production. Thus when growth slows during cold weather or because of reduced moisture supply, the rubber content begins to increase.

Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.
