Practical Foresty: A Popular Handbook on the Rearing and Growth of Trees for Profit or Ornament (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from Practical Foresty: A Popular Handbook on the Rearing and Growth of Trees for Profit or OrnamentTo the Author at least, it is gratifying to know that four editions of Practical Forestry have been sold out, and that a fifth is urgently called for; no other work on British Forestry having achieved a like popularity.The whole has now been completely revised and several important chapters added, particularly with reference to Timber and the War, British Timber and Timber Trees, Afforesting Waste Lands, and The Education of Foresters, on both of which latter questions the Author had the honour of giving evidence before the Departmental Committee on Forestry of the Board of Agriculture.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
