CHAPTER XXXI 



CLIMBING PLANTS 



BESIDES the simple experiments arranged for in the previous lesson, 

 it is easy to carry out a series of observations * on climbing plants 

 whereby much may be learned concerning their movements and the 

 different methods which they adopt for the same purpose. 



It is of course well known that various parts of the plant are used 

 in different cases for climbing, and the student is recommended to 

 make a table something after the following manner, and add to it 

 from time to time as his knowledge of these plants increases. We 

 have ourselves omitted to give instances. 



CLIMBING PLANTS. 



* The experiments sketched out are intended to point a way, and not to constitute 

 one in themselves.
