From GbC {Times, February 9, 1891. 



'The high place which grass land management now occupies in connection with 

 our agriculture makes the publication of a fourth and entirely revised edition of 

 Mr. Martin J. Sutton's work on grasses and their management an event of more 

 than ordinary importance. The first thing to strike the reader is the handsome 

 character of the volume, more especially with regard to the 23 beautiful plates 

 of grasses, clovers, and other forage plants, which are printed in natural colours. 

 As one reads it, however, it soon becomes apparent that it is as complete and 

 modern as it is handsome. The first part deals with the entire question of grass 

 land and its management, and in this we have not only the cream of the best practice 

 in different parts of the country, but the latest statistics and the results of the 

 most modern experiments. The second part deals with the leading grasses, clovers, 

 and forage plants, of which 23 are represented by coloured plates, and two 

 analyses by Dr. J. A. Voelcker. Each is also described botanically and agricul- 

 turally, and illustrations are given of the seed, both natural size and enlarged. 

 All interested in the land will be pleased to have such a practical and scientific 

 guide to grass land culture.'
