" It is an admirable book, and cannot fail both to awaken interest in 

 the subject and to serve as a helpful and reliable guide to young students 

 of plant life. It will, I think, fill an important place in secondary schools, 

 and comes at an opportune time when helps of this kind are needed and 

 eagerly sought."— Professor V. M. Spalding, University of Michigan. 



" I have spent some time in most delightful examination of it, and the 

 longer I look, the better I like it. I find it not only full of interest, but 

 eminently suggestive. I know of no book which begins to do so much 

 to open the eyes of the student — whether pupil or teacher — to the wealth of 

 meaning contained in simple plant forms. Above all else, it seems to be 

 full of suggestions that help one to learn the language of plants, so they 

 may talk to him." — Darwin L. Bardwell, Superintendent of Schools, 

 Binghamton, N. Y. . .
