Book excerpt: Excerpt from Twenty-Sixth Annual Report of the New York State College of Agriculture at Cornell University and the Agricultural Experiment Station, Established Under the Direction of Cornell University, Ithaca, N. Y., 1913, Vol. 2: Transmitted to the Legislature, January 15, 1914 Many boys and girls are not interested in plant life unless it is attractive. Some enjoy the wild flowers of the springtime, the brilliant wayside blossoms of the autumn, or the cultivated garden plants that have been grown to make a bit of color round about the home. In fact, almost all boys and girls are interested in such forms of plant life. There are other forms Of growing things, however, that are very interest ing to persons who are willing to spend time in the study Of them. These are the useful plants that are grown throughout the country. If one were to know the history of all the farm crops, he would find many wonderful stories connected with them. Some were brought to New York State from other lands. Some that in their native lands were not very valuable have become most valuable in a different place. It would be interesting to trace the history of some of the plant life that we find in orchards and fields at the present day.
