Literature  on  Drug  Culture. 
For  more  than  twenty-five  years  just  past,  considerable  literature 
has  been  published  on  the  subject  of  medicinal  plants  and  their 
culture.  Within  the  past  few  .years  this  literature  has  greatly  in- 
creased and  is  assuming  a  modern  and  practical  trend.  For  the  con- 
venience of  those  who  may  desire  to  more  thoroughly  study  the  sub- 
ject a  list  of  important  references  are  here  given.  It  may  be  noted 
that  in  addition  to  this  list  there  is  available  extensive  literature  on 
the  soil,  its  chemistry,  fertility,  tilling,  etc.,  as  well  as  upon  seeds, 
seed  testing,  and  for  the  student  of  the  morphology  and  chemistry  of 
medicinal  plants  and  kindred  subjects  may  be  perused  with  profit. 
The  citations  here  made  have  a  more  or  less  practical  bearing  upon  the 
subject  of  drug  culture. 
A  very  extensive  list  of  literature  on  medicinal  plants  and  drug 
culture  by  Prof.  Albert  Schneider,  may  be  found  in  the  Pharmaceu- 
tical Review  for  July  and  August,  1908.
