ESSENTIALS OF BOTANY 



By JOSEPH YOUNG BERGEN 



2mo, cloth, 380 pages, illustrated, ;>i.20 



BERGEN'S " Essentials of l^otany " is intended to 

 furnish a one-)ear course for secondary schools and 

 also to fit thoroughly for college-entrance examinations 

 in the subject. It gives an intelligible account of the 

 main facts of plant anatomy and ph)siology, together 

 with a general view of the principal groups of plants. It 

 will be found much fuller than the author's *' Elements" 

 or ** Foundations of Botany" in the treatment of the 

 lower forms of plant life. 



Probably the most widely used text-books in America 

 on botany are those written by Mr. Joseph Y. Bergen. 

 An accomplished teacher and naturalist, Mr. Bergen has 

 been quick to seize upon the best methods to illustrate 

 the changes in the study of plants during the past 'score 

 of years, and to adapt those methods to teachers in a 

 concise and presentable form, and in as simple language 

 as the nature of the suhject will permit. This latest 

 book — "The Essentials of Botany" — is an attractively 

 illustrated volume, and contains much new matter that 

 teachers will appreciate, such as chapters on plant breed- 

 ing, useful plants, and on timher and forestry.
