Présentation de l'éditeur
Agriculture is an eternal war against weeds, and by neglect of cleaning his land, the careless cultivator may lose one-fourth or in extreme cases even one-half of the yield which might be his, .T he preaching of the crusade against weeds cannot be begun too early. In order to fight weeds, we must know how they grow and how they spread ;to these points particular attention is given in the following chapters. A part from their importance as agricultural pests, weeds are, as such, a fascinating study. The history of weeds is the history of agriculture. Ever since the peoples of the Stone A ge first began to till the ground, weeds and crops have gone hand in hand; and mans migratory movements, his wars, and later on his trade, have all played their part in assisting the spread of his enemies the weeds. A gain, our weeds include many beautiful and interesting plants ;this study is most instructive ;the structure of flowers, the dispersal of seeds, the function of the different parts of plants, and indeed all the lessons of elementary botany, can be studied to full advantage among our common weeds.
