simple facts of plant physiology and structure, and of the nature 

 of the soil, are really grasped by the student — grasped, that is, in 

 such a way that they can be actually utilized in garden work. These 

 questions cannot be adequately answered by those who have only 

 read books. They require observant acquaintance with the things 

 themselves, and intimate knowledge of the way a plant " works." 



Perhaps the commonest mistakes were in saying that a plant is 

 variegated because it does not receive sufficient carbon-dioxide; that 

 hoeing ' ' fills up the capillary tubes ' ' ; that the cabbage white butterfly 

 pupates in the soil; and in confusing transpiration with respiration. 

 Such errors result in mistakes in cultivation if an attempt is made to 

 apply them.
