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

 book. It is heartily recommended." — Educational Rcviciu. 



" 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 author 

 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."- —

 classificati(jn of facts." — C. H. Gordon.^ Superintendent oj Schools^ Lincoln^ Neh.
