THE HORTICULTURAL ADVERTISER. 



■ SECOND EDITION, REVISED BY THE AUTHOR.- 



The NeiAT Botany. 



A Lecture on the Best Method of Teaching the Science. By W. J. BEAL, M.SC, PH.D., Professor of Botany in the 

 Agricultural College, Lansing, Mich. 8vo, paper. 26c. Mailed, post-paid, on receipt of price. 



"Dr. Beal does well to say that books are an aid in the study, and not the proper Source of knowledge at aU. On© 

 examination of a plant will teach more than the perusal of fifty books. Every student of Botany may profit by taking 

 counsel of Dr. Beal." — London Gardener'' s Magazine. 



"This book well merits the attention of all engaged in teaching Botany, and also of those who are about to study it. 

 Some excellent directions are given as to what should be the objects in studying Natural Science, and the best modes of 

 cultivating habits of correct observation."— Z-ondon Joiimal of Horticulture. 



"The tendency of modern instruction seems to be in the direction of emancipation from text books, with their 

 stereotyped formulas ; and wc believe that in no department is there more need of it than in that of Botany."— Marble- 

 head {Mass.) Messenger. 



"Neither Botany nor Horticulture is what it was a half century ago. True Gardening in these days embraces a 

 knowledge of flowers to an extent that makes a gardener really a botanist ; while Botany is a great deal more than a 

 mere classification of a lot of dried sticks. In the new order of things Botany deals with plant life, just as Gardening 

 does. Few have done so much, probably no one more, to make Botany popular "than Prof. Beal. No better service could 

 be rendered to botanists and gardeners than to have this lecture in the hands of every tea,c\ieT."—G ai-deners' 3fonthlp, 

 January, ISSS. " Prof. Beal is one of the best of our modern teachers of Botany."— Ibid, September, 1SS2. 



"It should be in the hands of every teacher of Botany, so full is it of suggestions that can be acted upon, even by 

 those who have no laboratory appliances. The whole effort * * is to cultivate in the pupil * * * * the ability for 

 original research. Those who cannot originate, had better follow those that have proved most successful. Looking at 

 results there are few better teachers of Botany than Prof. Beal.— Ihe Botanical Gazette, p. 293, 1881. 



" It would be diflftcult to overestimate the difference between the delight which a class of bright young girls or boj'S 

 would take in such observations as these, and the dreariness of the hours their elders were forced to spend over tfie 

 analysis of flowers." — Neiv York Evening Post. 



" The whole lecture indicates such an amount of research and is given in so condensed a form as to render it inter- 

 esting, as well as valuable, to all who are studying physiological Botany and how plants behave." * * * * "The mode 

 Prof. Beal so ably points out not onlv imparts useful knowledge, but serves a valuable purpose in training the mind. ' — 

 Country Gentleman.
