Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Manual of the Cultivation of the Grasses: And Forage Plants at the South The rapid exhaustion of the first edition of two thousand copies of this little manual has emboldened me to offer another edition, revised and enlarged. It has been bought by farmers and others in all the Southern States, from Virginia to Texas inclusive. One business firm in North Carolina has already distributed one hundred copies of the former edition gratuitously among its customers, and has ordered in advance five hundred copies of this edition for the same purpose. Such results are gratifying to me in a double sense. First, as indicating a kindly appreciation of my humble efforts. Second, as offering evidence of an increased attention in the South to a diversified agriculture. The conviction is daily strengthening in my mind that we shall not attain agricultural prosperity until exclusive cotton culture is abandoned, and we learn to make a large proportion of our soil productive without labor. This result can be accomplished only by the culture of the grasses, whether native or artificial. In hope of aiding in this "consummation devoutly to be wished for," this second edition is issued.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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.

This book was released on 1971-06-01 with total page 512 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This work is actually the definitive encyclopedia of United States grass life. Compiled from the U.S. National Herbarium collection, the largest of its kind in the world, it is the only complete manual of U.S. grasses available and one of the basic reference works on U.S. plant life. It catalogs and describes in detail all 1,398 numbered species in 169 numbered genera found in this country, plus 120 species in 16 genera of the so-called “waifs.” Professor Hitchcock is the former Chief Botanist in charge of systematic agrostology for the U.S. Department of Agriculture, by whom the work was originally published, and an internationally known authority. The heart of the book is its detailed descriptions of the family of grasses, the two main subfamilies, the tribes, genera, and species. Quick finding keys are provided for the identification of tribes and genera. Each of the species is given thorough botanical description, including various aspects of its morphology — size, shape, form of culms, blades, panicles, spikes, and flowers — and height, proper planting season, and range of distribution are noted. The Manual also outlines the common uses to which grasses are put and discusses in general terms their distribution, classification, nomenclature, and common names. The 1,199 drawings make identification of any grass species found in the United States a virtual certainty. The appended synonymy of alternate names for each species provides an authoritative taxonomy, eliminating confusion. The nature lover with no more technical equipment than a keen eye can use this manual with profit, for a glossary of botanical terms is included. Naturalists, botanists, agriculturists, and horticulturists will find it valuable as a field and research guide to virtually all the grasses that grow in this country.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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.
