ife of every growing thing, to look upon each
plant as a living creature, whose life is a story as fascinating as the
story of any favorite hero. "Lessons with Plants" is a book of stories, or
rather, a book of plays, for we can see each chapter acted out if we take
the trouble to _look_ at the actors.

"I have spent some time in most delightful examination of it, and the
longer I look, the better I like it. I find it not only full of interest,
but eminently suggestive. I know of no book which begins to do so much to
open the eyes of the student--whether pupil or teacher--to the wealth of
meaning contained in simple plant forms. Above all else, it seems to be
full of suggestions that help one to learn the language of plants, so they
may talk to him."--DARWIN L. BARDWELL, _Superintendent of Schools,
Binghamton_.

"It is an admirable book, and cannot fail both to awaken interest in the
subject, and to serve as a helpful and reliable guide to young students of
plant life. It will, I think, fill an important place in secondary
schools, and comes at an opportune time, when helps of this kind are
needed and eagerly sought."--Professor V. M. SPALDING, _University of
Michigan_.
