Book Description

Excerpt from Glimpses Into Plant-Life: An Easy Guide to the Study of Botany It has been my aim in the little volume I now venture to send forth to my young friends, known and unknown, to supply this deficiency. I want to enable them to share the joy of spending hours in a garden learning to understand the structure of plants. I want to make them able, when they see a bud, or a root, or a twig, to know what the history of that object is, how it comes to have the shape it takes, how it deve into its present condition, and what its next form will be.
