BOOKS IN BOTANY 



REPRESENTATIVE PLANTS 



By H. S. PEPOON, Head Instructor in Botany, Lake View High 

 School, Chicago, 111. 



I2mo, cloth, 163 pages, 60 cents 



A MODERN and practical study of the seed plants, for use in high- 

 school classes beyond the first year and in the elementary courses of 

 the smaller colleges, is offered in this new manual of botany. It is 

 based upon the pupil's knowledge of everyday forms, and is arranged 

 under the divisional heads of seeds, roots, stems, leaves, flowers, and 

 fruits. Copious applications and illustrations of each new botanical 

 fact, an abundance of practical work for the laboratory, and many 

 and varied examples of the processes by which the products of common 

 plants are prepared for use constitute features of distinct progress. 



While the major portion of the book is devoted to seed plants, a 

 presentation of the evolution of spore plants and of the principles of 

 ecology completes the broad, general view of the plant kingdom 

 which may be obtained from a use of this text. 



LABORATORY BOTANY 



By WILLARD N. CLUTE 

 I2mo, cloth, xiv + 177 pages, 75 cents 



FOR the teacher who is crowded for time or the student who 

 desires to do independent work, Clute's " Laboratory Botany " will 

 be found invaluable. The manual covers a year's work. It is made 

 up of clear and accurate outlines of the specific subjects, such as 

 root, stem, flower, fungi, bryophytes, gymnosperms, etc. ; directions 

 for examining ; and lists of definite questions which will bring out all 

 the different points of the student's investigation. In addition it con- 

 tains a key for outdoor work with trees, outlines for a study of floral 

 ecology, and tables of the principal families and larger groups of the 

 plant world. It is absolutely flexible, and can be condensed or ex- 

 tended by individual teachers at any point without detriment to 

 the work.
