 HALF LEATHER, 12MO, $1,10 



Profusely illustrated with delineations from nature by W. S. 

 Holdsworth, Assistant Professor of Drawing in the Agricultural 

 College of Michigan, carefully chosen and well executed. 



An extension of the ideas embodied in the "nature-study 

 leaflets," a part of the instruction given in the itinerant schools 

 of horticulture in New York state. 



The book aims to suggest methods rather than to present facts . 



"This book is based on sound pedagogical as well as botanical principles, 

 and should prove a success in the class-room, and must, it seems to me, if 

 used as the author directs. The illustrations are most excellent, and may well 

 serve as models to whose standard of excellence the pupil using the book 

 should strive to attain. I am recommending the book, whenever the oppor- 

 tunity presents itself, to those of my former students who are teaching botany 

 in high schools." Prof. CHARLES A. DAVIS, Alma College, Alma, Mich. 



"It is an admirable book, and ennnot fail both to awaken interest in the 

 subject and to serve as a helpful and reliable guide to young students of plant 

 life." Prof. V. M. SPALDING, Univ. of Michigan. 



"I have spent some time in most delightful examination of it, and the 

 longer I look, the better I like it. I find it not only full of interest, but emi- 

 nently suggestive. I know of no book which begins to do so much to open the 

 eyes of the student whether pupil or teacher to the wealth of meaning con- 

 tained in simple plant forms. Above all ele. it seems to be full of suggestions 

 that help one to learn the language of plants, so they may talk to him."
