 By W. J. Beal, M.SC, PH.D. 8vo, paper. Second edition, 

 revised by the author. 25c. Mailed, post-paid on receipt oi 

 price. 



" Every student of Botany may profit by taking counsel 

 of Dr. Beal." — London Oardener^s Magazine. 



''This book well merits the attention of all engaged in 

 teaching Botany, and also of those who are about to study 

 it."— ionrfon Journal of Horticulture. 



" No better service could be rendered to botanists and 

 gardeners than to have this lecture in the hands of every 

 teacher. Prof. Beal is one of the best of our modern 

 teachers of Botany."— Gardeners' Monthly. 



Looking at results there are few better teachers of Botany 

 than Prof. Beal. — 7he Botanical Oazette. 



"It would be difticult to overestimate the difference be- 

 tween the delight which a class of bright young girls or boys 

 would take in such observations as these, and the dreariness 

 of the hours their elders were forced to spend over the 

 analysis of flowers." — JV. Y. Evening Post. 



"The mode Prof. Beal so ably points out not only imparts 

 useful knowledge, but serves a valuable purpose in train- 

 ing the mind.' ^—Country Gentleman.
