How Crops Grow: A Century Later

New Haven: Connecticut Agricultural Experiment Station, 1969. Paperback. x, 180 pages. Softcover, in very good condition, with two rough spots from tape removal near the tail of the spine but otherwise clean and sound. Item #1579

Published to celebrate the centennial of the influential agricultural textbook How Crops Grow, by Samuel W. Johnson, published in New York by Orange, Judd in 1868. Interesting for collectors of Orange, Judd books, and particularly useful for its introduction, "How Johnson Related Science to Society," by J. G. Horsfall, and for the first chapter, "Samuel W. Johnson and How Crops Grow," by H. B. Vickery.
