A reference work that was still entirely readable. Cool! He describes a lot of the flowers and grasses of the American prairie with tips on growing and propagating them. And then has a whole section on how a person can go about creating his own prairie--cool. He has the typical version I've read before, which involves heavy use of specific herbicides. But then a version on how one might prepare the ground without herbicides--exactly what I wanted!
And then a section on how to use fire to maintain the prairie. Very informative, and for people like me who don't have the space or the desire to use fire, information on the timing of mowing to mimic the action of fire.
I'd love to have a copy of my own.
