Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Grasses of Iowa: The Descriptive and Geographical Study of the Grasses of Iowa
Several years have elapsed since Part I, Bulletin I, of the Grasses of Iowa was published. Part I, naturally, covered the general, biological, chemical and feeding problems con nected with the grasses of the state. When that work was being prepared it was thought possible to bring all this material together into one volume. As the work progressed, however, it seemed desirable to present the matter in two parts: Part I deal ing with the general biology, and Part II with the descriptive and geographical study of the grasses of Iowa. After many delays the work of printing Part II was begun early in January. I am greatly indebted to Miss Charlotte M. King for many of the drawings prepared expressly for this work by her; also for her help in connection with synonymy. To Mr. R. E. Buchanan and Miss Estelle D. Fogel I am indebted for careful proof-reading and other assistance. Mr. Buchanan and Miss Fogel prepared the index, which is unusually complete. For clerical assistance I am indebted to Miss Mae Combs, Miss J em nie Wharton and Miss Helen Dickerson. To Mr. T. E. Savage I am greatly indebted for his unfailing kindness in looking after the many details of arrangement of subject-matter. I wish, also, to express my thanks to the many friends who have assisted by their contributions of grass material from all parts of the state for use in determining distribution.
