Australian Grasses and Pasture Plants: With Notes on Native Fodder Shrubs and Trees (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from Australian Grasses and Pasture Plants: With Notes on Native Fodder Shrubs and Trees

To write an original, reliable, and popular work on the important subject of Australian Grasses and Pasture Plants for the information of stock-owners and all those settled upon the land in this great southern continent is a serious and onerous undertaking, more especially when the space is limited to a certain number of pages. Although the matter contained in this little volume is concisely written accuracy has not been sacrificed, for the information is based upon my own scientific and practical experience and long observation of the economic value of some of the best and most widely distributed grasses and forage plants growing in Australian pastures.

The matter contained in the following pages may be regarded as a sequel to those illustrated and descriptive larger and more comprehensive works on Australian Grasses and Forage Plants, which I wrote under instructions from the Governments of New South Wales, Queensland, and West Australia.
