A GOOD, tight copy. PROFUSELY ILLUSTRATED with black-and-white drawings and photographs with accompanying descriptive captions. From the author's Preface: "This book is an introduction to the study of plants. As far as it seems advisable, technical terms have been avoided; but we have tried to make the treatment scientific and necessary technical terms have been introduced with a definition and, generally, with an illustration. The subject matter is arranged to meet the needs of schools which devote only one semester to the study of plants, and of schools which have a whole year of botany."
