How to Study Plants, Introduction to Botany, Being an Illustrated Flora (Paperback)

PREFACE: The plan of this work differs from that of the ordinary Botany. The method pursued is to introduce the pupil at once to the study of the plant itself, by means of elaborate illustrations, and living specimens. The parts and functions, together with the generic and specific characters of each plant, are pointed out and described. The thing being seen is then named. No new term is introduced until a necessity arises for its use....Many of the earliest books, particularly those dating back to the 1900's and before, are now extremely scarce and increasingly expensive. We are republishing these classic works in affordable, high quality, modern editions, using the original text and artwork.
