| Annotation from Turfgrass History and Literature: Lawns, Sports, and Golf, by James B Beard, Harriet J. Beard and James C Beard: | "There are only small revisions. It is a very rare booklet. The issue of worker safety in the use of nonselective weed killers in 1920 in England was expressed:
Another mode of killing weeds is to dip a wooden skewer into sulphuric acid, strong carbolic acid, or one of the liquid weed destroyers, and then plunge the skewer into the heart of the plant. The result is deadly and instantaneous. In using these destructive fluids, however, great caution must be exercised to avoid personal injury or the burning of clothing. But when every care is taken to prevent an accident, the fact remains that these corrosive fluids may prove to be a source of grave danger, even when the bottle containing the liquid is kept in a place of supposed security. For this reason poisons are better avoided, especially as the object can be attained by other means which are free from danger." p. 352 |

| Quotable quotes | "A smooth and verdant lawn is a constant source of pleasure and it enhances the charm of every flower and shrub in the garden. Lawns are also most delightful meeting-places for social gatherings in high summer, and they afford opportunities for healthy recreation in the popular games of bowls, croquet and tennis." p. 1 |
