Excerpt from Bulletins From Ontario Agricultural College: And Special Bulletins N 0 one will question the correctness of the statement, that grasses are amongst the most useful plants grown on the farm and there is no doubt that farmers Should study them carefully and learn all they can about those which are suited to their different localities and to the particular branches of agriculture in which they are respectively engaged. Ordinary works on botany say very little about grasses, and the great majority of young men' know still less about even the most common varieties. Hence Messrs. Harrison and Day have prepared this bulletin and are sending it out in the hope that a considerable number of the young farmers of this province may use it so as to get an exact and thoroughly practical knowledge of those grasses which may be grown in their respective localities. The popular portions of the bulletin are very simple and can be easily understood by all readers, and the more scientific descriptions introduced in connection with the illustrations, are intended for use in Public and High Schools and for the guidance of young men who may be disposed to study the grasses closely, so as to become familiar with the form, name, and uses of each variety. Clit 21 has been borrowed from Mr. James Fletcher, entomologist and botanist of the Dominion Experimental Farms, and all the other cuts used are electrotypes made by permission from plates in the possession of the Department of Agriculture, Washington, D.C. The kindness and courtesy of Mr. Fletcher and of the officials of the United States Department of Agriculture are hereby acknowledged.
