"This book is made for the pupil: 'Lessons With Plants' 

 was made to supplement the work of the teacher." This is tha 

 opening sentence of the preface, showing that the book is a 

 companion to "Lessons With Plants," which has now become a 

 standard teacher's book. The present book is the handsomest 

 elementary botanical text-book yet made. The illustration? 

 illustrate. They are artistic. The old formal and unnatural 

 Botany is being rapidly outgrown. The book disparages mere 

 laboratory work of the old kind: the pupil is taught to see things 

 as they grow and behave. The pupil who goes through this book 

 will understand the meaning of the plants which he sees day 

 by day. It is a revolt from the dry-as-dust teaching of botany 

 tt cares little for science for science' sake, but its point of view 

 is nature -study in its best sense. The book is divided into four 

 parts, any or all of which may be used in the school: the plnnt 

 itself; the plant in its environment; histology, or the minute 

 structure of plants; the kinds of plants (with a key, and de- 

 scriptions of 300 common species). The introduction contains 

 ndvic*- to teachers. The boot is brand new from start to 

 finish.
