About this Item

A VERY GOOD, clean, tight scholar/collector-worthy copy. From the author's Preface: "The rapid advances made in the science of botany within the last few years necessitate changes in the text books in use as well as in methods of teaching. Having, in his own experience as a teacher, felt the need of a book different from any now in use, the author has prepared the present volume with a hope that it may serve the purpose for which it is intended; viz., an introduction to the study of botany for use in high schools especially, but sufficiently comprehensive to serve also as a beginning book in most colleges." CONTENTS (21 Chapters); Introduction; The Cell; Classification of Plants; Algae; Green Algae; Brown Seaweeds; Red Algae; Fungi; True Fungi; Bryophytes; Pteridophytes; Classification of Pteridophytes; Spermaphytes; Spermaphytes (Continued); Classification of Monocotyledons; Dicotyledons; Classification of Dicotyledons; Classification of Dicotyledons; Fertilization of Flowers; Histological Methods. Brown cloth binding with black lettering on the front cover and gold gilt lettering on spine. 253 pages followed by 8 pages of publisher advertisements for related publications. Former owner's inked name on title page. LRCA3.
