Excerpt from The True Grasses
The work here referred to contains so much of prao tical as well as of scientific importance and interest that its presentation in a form available to English readers seemed highly desirable. A further incentive to the preparation of an English translation was the fact that at this time particular interest in the investigation of grasses is being taken by the United States Government, and on all sides eager demands are being made for information relative to these plants. That this is so is not remarkable when we consider the unrivalled eco nomic importance of grasses, furnishing as they do daily food to man and the animals upon which he is most dependent, as well as supplying a great variety of articles used in manufacture, the arts, and medicine. While the present work may not add to the interest in the subject already existing, it cannot fail to afford information much desired.
