110. Internal Structure of Stems ; Cellular Tissue; Wood. 111. The two classes of stems. 112. Ex-

External appearance and mode of growth. 
119. Leaves ; their varieties, why useful to learn. 120. Their parts : Blade, Footstalk, Stipules. 
121. Simple and Compound. 122. Structure and Yeining of leaves: woody or fibrous part; cellular 
tissue or green pulp ; Epidermis or Skin. 123. Ribs. 124. Veins and Veinlets; Nerves, so called. 
125. Two kinds of veining. 126. Netted-veined or Reticulated. 127. Class of plants that have this

apex. 138. As to margin or toothing, &c. 139. Lobing or division. 140. How this is related to the 
veining; . how both the kind of lobing and the number of parts may be expressed, 141, so that a short
