the amateur as well as for the professional botanist, and nowhere 
has the subject been presented in a more attractive form, than in 
the charming little volume from the pen of Miss Newell, who, ina 
well arranged summary, gives some of the more important results 
reached by well known investigators. The book lays no claim to 
originality, yet it is evident from the context, that the authoress 
has herself been a close observer of many of the phenomena she 
deals with, and therefore she speaks of things of which she has 
personal knowledge. 
The excellence of the illustrations adds much to the attractive 
manner in which the facts are presented. For those who have not 
the time or opportunity to gain a more extensive acquaintance with 
the subject, this little book will prove a most useful and reliable 
guide to some of the most remarkable of Nature’s processes.
