"I have examined the book with much interest. It is easily seen that 

 it is written with Professor Bailey's clearness and felicity of style, and I 

 think it, as a whole, one of the most charmingly and appropriately illustrat- 

 ed of modern botanical text-books, I expect it to prove a stimulating and 

 very useful work." — Professor W. F. Ganong, Smith College. 



"It is the very best book that I have yet seen, and I shall take pleasure 

 in using it in my class this year and in recommending it to others as occa- 

 sion serves ' — Herbert O. Clough, Albany Academy, Albany, N. Y. 



"I note several features that appear to me worthy of special mention : 

 first, the illustrations that accompany the key ; second, the introduction in 

 a simple way of well-known facts of evolution as applied to plants as well as 

 animals ; third, the most important, the endeavor to have the student see 

 the plant as a real live thing." — Gilbert H. Trafton, Normal School, 

 Randolph, Vt. 



"I consider it one of the best botanies on the market. Professor Bailey 

 is one of the best equipped men in the United States to write on the subject 

 of botany or horticulture. He expresses himself so clearly and writes so 

 entertainingly that even the ordinary reader will find pleasure in perusing 

 his botanies." — P. H. Mell, Director of State Experiment Station, Au- 

 burn, Ala.
