AGRICULTURAL BOTANY

By J. S. YEATES and ELLA O. CAMPBELL

This book supplies a long-felt want in this country by providing a simple explanation of the manner in which plants function and the conditions necessary for their growth. Wherever possible technical terms have been avoided, and those essential to a proper understanding of the subject have been fully explained. Over one hundred illustrations contribute to a clear exposition of the subject. As a result, although the book is primarily intended for use in schools and colleges, it is also suitable for farmers, orchardists, horticulturists, and home gardeners.
