Abstract
A KNOWLEDGE of the useful and poisonous plants on a farm is an essential part of the equipment of the agriculturist, but hitherto the requisite information has been to a large extent scattered and difficult of access. In the present volume the account of the stock-killing and poisonous American plants is thorough and comprehensive, a specially useful feature being the inclusion of methods of treatment where they are known. It is a pity that the photographs of affected animals are not reproduced more clearly, as several of them fail to illustrate their point.
