Présentation de l'éditeur
There are in general two ways in which the study of Botany may be approached. The first begins with the study of simpler plants, and proceeds systematically to the more complex. The second attempts, first, more familiar forms in their more striking phases, leaving more recondite problems for later inquiry and investigation. Of the two methods, the former has the advantage of being more logical; the latter is certainly more natural, and, in fact, corresponds with the manner in which all science has been developed. In the present volume the second method has been followed. This for several reasons. In the first place, it seems more convenient. The very months when the simpler phases of plant-life are at their best are, by the present arrangement of our school year, practically excluded. But the phenomena presented by the higher plants are at least equally worthy of investigation, and are, as a rule, nearly always accessible. A gain, the study of the lower forms of plant-life cannot be carried far without the aid of more or less costly laboratories and appliances; and if the method adopted necessitates the study of such forms, the study of Botany will be restricted to such schools as can afford the requisite apparatus.

Présentation de l'éditeur
This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.
