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.

Présentation de l'éditeur
Originally published in 1913, as part of the Cambridge Nature Study Series, this book was written by the renowned Irish botanist and author Robert Lloyd Praeger (1865–1953). Intended for the younger reader, it provides an introduction to the ways in which weeds grow and spread, also showing how 'the function of different parts of plants, and indeed all the lessons of elementary botany, can be studied to full advantage among our common weeds'. Numerous illustrative figures are included. This is a highly accessible volume that will be of value to anyone with an interest in the writings of Praeger, the history of botany and books for children.
