"It is an admirable book, and cannot fail both to awaken interest in 

 the subject and to serve as a helpful and reliable guide to young stu- 

 dents of plant life. It will, I think, fill an important place in secondary- 

 schools, and comes at an opportune time when helps of this kind are 

 needed and eagerly sought."— Professor V. M. Spalding, University 

 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 eminently 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 contained in simple plant forms. Above all else, 

 it seems to be full of suggestions that help one to learn the language of 

 plants, so they may talk to him." — Darwin L. Bardwell, Superinten- 

 dent of Schools, Binghamton, N. Y.
