SECOND EDITION— 515 PACES — 22 ILLUSTRATIONS — $2.00 



To those interested in the underlying philosophy 

 of plant life, this volume, written in a most enter- 

 taining style, and fully illustrated, will prove wel- 

 come. It treats of the modification of plants under 

 cultivation upon the evolution theory, and its atti- 

 tude on this interesting subjecl is characterized 

 by the author's well-known originality and inde- 

 pendence of thought. Incidentally, there is stated 

 much that will be valuable and suggestive to the 

 working horticulturist, as well as to the man or 

 woman impelled by a love of nature to horticul- 

 tural pursuits. It may well be called, indeed, a 

 philosophy of horticulture, in which all inter. 

 may find inspiration and instruction.
