“The author has produced a little volume well suited to attract the
attention and stimulate the curiosity of the student. By clothing
the dry details of morphological construction with information as to
the life history of plants, and by calling attention to the varied
adaptations of form to function, he has followed in the wake of that
numerous band of naturalists who have at once done so much to extend
the bounds of botanical science, and to make it attractive to the
amateur.”—_Athenæum_.
“More delightful reading for the country at this season of the year
authors and publishers have not provided for us.”—_Pall Mall
Gazette_.
“An unpretending book, whose contents cover a very great extent of
botanical ground.”—_Science Gossip_.
