Excerpt from Lessons in Botany
This abbreviated and simplified edition of my Elementary Botany has been prepared for the use of pupils in the secondary schools, where short, or half-year, courses in botany are given, and where, for one reason or another, my larger book cannot be adapted to such abbreviated courses. A large part of the matter has been rewritten, only the less technical descriptive portions being retained.
