This text contains a detailed treatise on farm plants. Its primary aim is to provide a sketch, necessarily in faintest outline, of the physiology or life-history of plants. Full of interesting and practical information, this text will be of considerable value to the farmer, and makes for a great addition to agricultural literature. The chapters of this book include: 'Plant Nutrition: The Work and The Materials'; 'Nutrition The Machinery'; 'Growth'; 'Sensitiveness'; 'Development Multiplication'; 'The Battle of Life'; 'Practical Inferences'; 'Death and Decay'. We are proud to republish this vintage text, now complete with a new and specially commissioned introduction on farming."
