By Gustave Heuzé:

Gustave Heuze (born 1815 - died 1907) was an internationally-renowned French agronomist. He was the author of numerous books of agronomy and agriculture.

Heuze was born in Paris. He studied at l'École nationale de Grignon, and was a director at l'École de Grand-Jouan. In 1849 he became a profesor of agriculture at Grigon, and was associated with à l'Institut agronomique.  In 1880 he was named honorary inspector general of agriculture.

He wrote books about numerous aspects of agriculture, including industrial crops, forage crops, pastures, meadows and natural grasslands, dye and textile plants, vegetables, etc.

His other books include: Les plantes industrielles,  Plantes tinctoriales et textiles, Les plantes alimentaires des pays chauds et des colonies , L'agriculture de l'Italie septentrionale, etc.

This Book:
