'•'Plant Relations' is charming both in matter and style. The book is 

 superbly manufactured, letterpress and illustration yielding the fullest measure 

 of delight from every page." — JV. McK. Vance, Superintendent of Schools, 

 Urbanoy Ohio. 



** I am extremely pleased with the text-book, ' Plant Relations.' " — H. 

 W. Conn, fVesleyan Uni'versity, Middletoivn, Conn. 



"Dr. Coulter's 'Plant Relations,' a first text-book of botany, is a wholly 

 admirable work. Both in plan and in structure it is a modern and scientific 

 book. It is heartily recommended." — Educational Re'vieiv. 



"It is a really beautiful book, the illustrations being in many cases simply 

 exquisite, and is written in the clear, direct, and simple style that the authoi 

 knows so well how to use. A very strong feature of the work is the promi-" 

 nence given to ecological relations, which I agree with Dr. Coulter should be 

 made the leading subject of study in the botany of the preparatory schools." — ' 

 V. M.. Spalding, Uni-versity of Michigan. 



" We can hardly conceive of a wiser way to introduce the pupil to the fas- 

 cinating study of botany than the one indicated in this book." — Education. 



"The book is a marvel of clearness and simplicity of expression, and that, 

 too, without any sacrifice of scientific accuracy. " — School Re-vieiv. 



"It marks the passage of the pioneer stage in botanical work, and afford? 

 the student a glimpse of a field of inquiry higher than the mere tabulation and 

 classification of facts." — C. H. Gordon, Superintendent of Schools, Lincoln, Neb. 



" It will surely be a Godsend for those high-school teachers who are strug- 

 gling with insufficient laboratory equipment, and certainly presents the mosl 

 readable account of plants of any single elementary book I have seen." — L. M. 

 Underiuood, Columbia Uni-versity. 



" We heartily recommend his book as one of the clearest and simplest pres- 

 entations of plant relations that we have seen." — Independent.
