Mr. Bergen's book differs from most other botanies of 

 similar grade in the following details : 



In carrying through a simple account of the gross struc- 

 ture, the microscopical structure, and the functions of the 

 several parts of the plant side by side. 



In paying special attention to Vegetable Physiology and 

 illustrating the subject by many simple experiments. 



In choosing for the experimental part of the work such 

 experiments as may, if necessary, be carried on in the 

 schoolroom during the regular recitation period. 



In employing for study largely such materials as are 

 readily obtainable everywhere and at all seasons. 



In offering abundant pictorial illustrations, chosen from a 

 very wide range among the most authentic sources. 



John M. Coulter, Head Professor of 

 Botany, University of Chicago : I have 

 been recommending Bergen's Elements 

 of Botany to the teachers of the public 

 schools as a very useful book. It con- 

 tains the flavor of modern botany, retains 

 much of the old that is useful, is simple, 

 and enforces the necessity of laboratory 

 and field work. 



W. W. Rowlee, Assistatit Professor 

 of Botany, Cornell University, Ithaca, 

 N. Y. : Comes nearer to outlining an ideal 

 course for high schools than any book I 

 have seen. 



W. F. Ganong, Professor of Botany, 

 Smith College, Northampto^t, Mass. : 

 The book comes fully up to our expecta- 

 tions. I shall make use of it with my 

 elementary classes. 



Thomas J. Burrill, Professor of Bot- 

 any, University of Illinois, Urba7ia, III. : 

 When asked to recommend a botanical 

 text-book for use in the high school, I un- 

 hesitatingly name Bergen's Botany. 



W. Q. Tight, Professor of Geology 

 and Natural History, Denison Univer- 

 sity, Granville, Ohio : After a term's use 

 of Bergen's Botany, I find it fulfills all 

 my expectations. The most practical 

 text-book on botany offered to our high 

 schools and academies. 



Geo. G. Groff, Professor of Organic 

 Sciences, Buc knell University, Lewis- 

 burg, Pa. : An excellent work. I have 

 taken pleasure in commending it to the 

 teachers in our school.
