BOTANY 



An Elementary Text for Schools. By L. II. Bah i v, I >irector of the Col- 

 lege of Agriculture, and Professor of Rural Economy in Cornell 

 University. Revised and enlarged. Illustrated. i2mo. Half 

 leather, xiv + 355 pages. $1.10 net. 



The subjects treated are four in number : the nature of the 

 plant itself, the relation of the plant to its surroundings, the 

 minute structures of plants, and the determination of the kinds 

 of plants. Each of these subjects is practically distinct, so that 

 the teacher may begin where he will. 



The five hundred illustrations in the book are an important 

 as well as an attractive feature. They are not pictures merely 

 — they are illustrations of the subject-matter ; many of them 

 are reproductions of photographs. 



A flora containing descriptions of more than six hundred 

 common wild and cultivated plants, with keys to the natural 

 orders, completes the book. 



LESSONS WITH PLANTS 



Suggestions for Seeing and Interpreting Some of the Common Forms of 

 Vegetation. By Professor L. II. Bailey. Illustrated. i2mo.

The book is based upon the idea that the proper way to 

 begin the study of plants is by means of plants, instead of 

 formal ideas or definitions. Instead of a definition as a model 

 telling the pupil what he is to see, the plant shows him what 

 there is to be seen, and the definition follows. In this way the 

 pupil soon begins to generalize, and the conclusion reached is 

 the true definition.
