The University of California expressly commends this to its affiliated 

 secondary schools for supplementary reading. 



" It is a thoroughly well-written and well-illustrated book, divested as 

 much as possible of technicalities, and is admirably adapted to giving young 

 people, for whom it was prepared, a readable account of plants and how 

 they live and grow." Public Opinion. 



" One of the most delightful semi-scientific books, which every one enjoys 

 reading and at once wishes to own. Such works present science in the 

 most fascinating and enticing way, and from a cursory glance at paragraphs 

 the reader is insensibly led on to chapters and thence to a thorough read- 

 ing from cover to cover. . . . The work is especially well adapted for 

 school purposes in connection with the study of elementary natural science, 

 to which modern authorities are united in giving an early and important 

 place in the school curriculum." The Journal of Education.
