About this title

Synopsis

Excerpt from The Botanical Record Book: Containing Directions for Laboratory Work in Botany, List of Botanical Terms, Spaces for Drawings and Observations, Prepared Blanks for Recording the Analyses of Plants, Etc

Whatever can aid either teacher or pupil in the study of Botany is worthy of attention. Especially is this true when the promised aid lies in the direction of making simple a series of actual experiments and observations upon plants and vegetable productions. There is very much to learn in the short time usually allotted to the study of this science,-the structure and morphology of the different parts and organs Of the plant, the meaning Of many new terms, the methods of analysis and classification, and the main features of the chief botanical orders or families. Moreover, the study of books and charts is not sufficient; but the pupil should see and handle the objects of which the lesson treats, and, if possible, should gather living specimens on the hills and in the meadows. The characteristics of the plant having been studied, a specimen should be carefully pressed, and at length should find a permanent resting place in that botanical casket, the student's herbarium. All of this work takes time; hence the course should be laid out orderly and with care.
