“It would be hard to find a Text-book which would better guide the student to an accurate knowledge of modern discoveries in Botany....

In the chapter on the Physiology of Flowers, an admirable résumé, drawn from Darwin, Hermann Müller, Kerner, and Lubbock, of what is known of the Fertilization of Flowers, is given.”—Journal of Botany.
