WHILE this volume does not ask attention as a manual of bot- 

 any, it is, in effect, a most a"ftmirable text -book on that science. 

 The motive of the book is the cultivation of the power of observa- 

 tion and the ability to draw proper inferences therefrom. It is pure 

 "nature study" that it inculcates, and the charm of its manner and 

 method will be felt by even a casual reader. The numerous beauti- 

 ful illustrations are a ^marked feature of the work. 



Lessons with Plants is admu-ably adapted to class use in high schools. 

 It includes Studies of Twigs and Buds; Studies of Leaves and Foli- 

 age; Studies of Flowers; Studies of the Fructification; Studies of the 

 Propagation of Plants; Studies of the Behavior and Habits of Plants; 



Studies of the Kinds of Plants ; Sug- 

 gestions and Reviews. 



"The clear text, beautiful illustra- 

 tions, strong binding and, most im- 

 portant of all, the very excellent 

 arrangement of the subject matter, 

 make it an invaluable adjunct to the 

 working materials of a busy teacher. 

 Aside from its value as a thoroughly 

 up-to-date text -book, it is equally 

 indispensable to the busy teacher as 

 a reference book on account of the 

 clear, concise and unique manner of 

 the arrangement of its contents."
