Farm Weeds

Images and text from Farm Weeds of Canada by George H. Clark, B.S.A. and James Fletcher, LL.D., F.R.S.C., F.L.S. with illustrations by Norman Criddle. Published by direction of the Hon. Sydney A. Fisher, Minister of Agriculture, Ottawa, 1906.

The book does not say it is Crown Copyright, but I am uncertain. I have marked the images as being in the public domain, and in the USA this is true; it would be true also in Canada except that it is an official government publication. On the other hand, I think it unlikely that there would be a problem with people making use of the images, even in Canada.

You can buy a modern reprint of this book, Farm Weeds, from Lea Valley in Canada.

Front Cover
