PREFACE
The object of the book is to provide a practical scientific course in vegetable histology for the use of teachers and students in schools and colleges.
The medicinal plants are studied in great detail because they constitute one of the most important groups of economic plants. The cells found in these plants are typical of the cells occurring in the vegetable kingdom; therefore the book should prove a valuable text-book for all students of histology.
