OPINIONS. 



" I 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 

 that help one to learn the language of plants, so they may talk 

 to him." 



** It 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."
