Fifth Edition. Crown 8vo, cloth, 4s. 6d.
โThe author has wisely chosen the natural and sensible method of commencing with the lowest forms of vegetable life, and tracing the gradual evolution of the plant upwards to its most complicated forms, and he has further given excellent descriptions of readily accessible types, so that the student will easily be able to verify for himself all the more important statements. The book is, moreover, copiously and well illustrated.... For the student, for whom it is written, it is calculated to be of great service, and we can most cordially recommend it.โโOxford Magazine.

[1] Get a chemist to make a solution of iodine and potassium iodide, which should be a bright, clear, orange colour.
[2] Weigh the plant, which you are putting in jar C, carefully, and keep a record of its weight for future use (see p. 18).
[3] This experiment is sometimes difficult to manage successfully, though it appears so simple. Great care should be taken not to overdose the plant with iron.
[4] Ordinary methylated spirit is rather impure alcohol, which will do if you cannot get any better.
[5] It is better to have half a dozen examples for each experiment, for the seedlings do not always act quite quickly and correctly, and from half a dozen you can see the average result.
[6] Spores are simple little structures which do much of the work of seeds. See the Chapter on Ferns.

p. 17 "(see Chap. VI.)," changed to "(see Chap. VI.)." p. 40 "actually the case" changed to "actually the case." p. 61 "adventititious" changed to "adventitious" p. 84 "B.
