 University of Chicago. 1 2mo. Cloth, $ i . i o net. 



"A pretty full and very interesting knowledge of the general 

 relations of plant life the conditions under which plants grow, 

 and the way in which their anatomical and physiological charac- 

 teristics testify to the circumstances of their environment, and 

 their needs as regards nutrition and reproduction. . . . The 

 name and position of the author certify to the high quality of the 

 book." The Illustrated Buffalo Express. 



" This beautifully printed volume is a striking example of the 

 vast advance which has been made in recent years in the mechan- 

 ical features of text-books. The illustrations are a special feature 

 of the book, and a great number of them are made from photo- 

 graphs, beautifully reproduced in half-tone. We are acquainted 

 with no manual of botany that can more usefully serve to supple- 

 ment work in the laboratory and the field by organizing the re- 

 sults obtained from investigation and suggesting explanations of 

 them." Philadelphia Press. 



ft The work is beautifully printed and illustrated, and the 

 subjects are treated in a manner at once entertaining and instruc- 

 tive. Professor Coulter is an enthusiast with the rare quality of 

 imparting his enthusiasm to his students in class and out of it." 

 Chicago Journal. 



"A class-room book of great excellence, calculated to give a 

 fair botanical knowledge to a student in six months' study or to 

 prepare him for the more detailed studies which Professor Coulter 

 will embody in a second book. The illustrations are verv nu- 

 merous and of supreme excellence." Chicago Interior.
