Our articles cover every phase of current activity in botany, and the 

 application of scientific principles to agriculture, horticulture, forestry, 

 soil physics and all lines of plant production or plant utilization. Our 

 pages record the advances of work in the laboratories and in the field, 

 and the observations of botanical travelers and explorers. Our reviews 

 afford a means of keeping in touch with the most important books and 

 journal articles. 



The Plant World is the most readable journal in which the progress 

 of scientific botany may be followed. It is not only necessary to those 

 who are actively interested in botany, but it is indispensable to the teacher 

 and student and to every person who grows or uses plants, or wishes to 

 follow the rapid development of present-day science.
