Farm Weeds Of Canada (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781408645765)

In the fight against noxious weeds, the first thing of importance is to know a weed when seen, and to call it by its true name - an endeavour that this volume will enable its reader to do proficiently. Complete with beautifully detailed illustrations and easy-to-digest information, this text will prove invaluable to the farmer or keen gardener, and will be of much interest to collectors of antique botanical literature. The chapters of this book include: What is a Weed?, Losses due to Weeds, Classification of Weeds, Extermination of Weeds, General Principles, Short Rotation of Crops, Seeding Down, Weeders and Harrows, Weeds not Natural to the Soil, Clean Seed, The Seeds of Weeds, etcetera. This text was originally published in 1906, and we are proud to republish it now complete with a new introduction on the subject.
