vii 370 pages, indexed, illustrated. The front board is badly rubbed and chipped at the edges; the head of the spine strip is damaged as is part of the title; there is a neat ownership signature on the front end paper and pp iii to vi are torn, as though from the removal of staples. This does not affect the print. Externally it is not an attractive copy, but the body of the book is clean, unmarked and solid. At the head of the title page ' Department of Agriculture, New South Wales.' As the title implies a book about grasses and foddrt plnts of New South Wales.
