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 reading 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.
