Synopsis
Excerpt from Buds, Stems and Roots
This little book does not claim to be exhaustive, but aims at bringing the children into an attitude of appreciation of plant life, its laws of growth and the wonders of its development.
A few seeds or plants brought into the school-room, and allowed to develop there, the children watching each stage of progress, will teach more than hundreds of wonderful buds and stems ruthlessly dissected by little hands already too eager to destroy.
That sort of botany which consists merely of pulling a wonder ful blossom to pieces, and wasting its loveliness, that the child may count its petals and see the number written down on a blackboard, is of questionable value.
