THE 
OPINIONS. 
“T have spent some time in most delightful examination of it, 
and the longer I look, the better I like it. I find it not only full 
of interest, but eminently suggestive. I know of no book which 
begins to do so much to open the eyes of the student — whether 
pupil or teacher — to the wealth of meaning contained in simple 
plant forms. Above all else it seems to be full of suggestions 
ae help one to learn the language of plants, so they may tall 
to him.” 
“Tt is an admirable book and cannot fail both to awaken inter. 
est in the subject and to serve as a helpful and reliable guide to 
young students of plant life. It will, I think, fill an important 
place in secondary schools and comes at an opportune time 
when helps of this kind are needed and eagerly sought.” 
“The clear text, beautiful illustrations, strong binding, and, 
most important of all, the very excellent arrangement of the 
subject-matter, makes it an invaluable adjunct to the working 
materials of a busy teacher. Aside from its value as a 
thoroughly up-to-date text-book, it is equally indispensable to 
the busy teacher as a reference book on account of the clear, 
concise, and unique manner of the arrangement of its contents.” 
‘A remarkably well printed and illustrated book, extremely 
original and unusually practical: — the science presented is no 
less good because it draws its material from and calls attention 
to the tree and shrub and plant, which the ordinary botany sees 
last and least. I think it begins at the right end and will aid 
true scientific teaching with observation and judgment.”
