Minor typographical errors have been corrected without note.
On page 230 this note appeared: "NOTE.--See illustration of thyme plant
on page 171 marked digitalis through error. For description of digitalis see
page 170." A plate showing Thyme but labelled Digitalis appears in both Vol. VII,
No. 4, April 1900 (p. 171) and the current issue (p. 231). The plate on p. 171
was replaced with one showing Digitalis and the caption for the plate on p. 231
was changed to Thyme.
Punctuation and spelling were made consistent when a predominant form was
found in this book; otherwise they were not changed.
Ambiguous hyphens at the ends of lines were retained.
Mid-paragraph illustrations have been moved between paragraphs
and some illustrations have been moved closer to the text that references them.
The title page information and Contents table were added by the transcriber.
