 by the tree planter. 



Gray's Structural and Systematic Botany. Part I., 

 especially chapters I. to VI., and chapters X. and XI. 

 "The Botanical Text Book," a later edition of this work 

 by the same author, has recently been published. Chapters 

 I. to III., and VII. and VIII. cover about the ground of the 

 above. To study either of them carefully throughout will 

 be profitable. Students desiring to pursue the subject 

 further may use Bessey's " Botany for High Schools and 

 Colleges," Thome's " Structural and Physiological Botany," 

 and Sach's " Text Book of Botany."

 edition of the same work entitled " The Earth as Modified 

 by Human Action," octavo, 656 pages, New York, Scrib- 

 ner, Armstrong & Co. This is a classical work, and the 

 chapters on forests and kindred topics are full of interest 

 and information.

 Gardening adapted to Korth America^ by Andrew J. 

 Downing, octavo, 575 pages.
