FIRST LINES OF BOTANY,

"This little work is a complete compendium of botanical science, written in a very clear and effective manner, and embodying the most popular classification of plants. It is a work that may be consulted by the old as well as the young with great advantage, and to those who are fond of gardening it will be of great practical use."
