Excerpt from The Young Botanist: Being a Treatise on the Science, Prepared for the Use of Persons Just Commencing the Study of PlantsUnder the head of practical botany, the learner will find popular descriptions of the most common plants, following their generic and specific descriptions in scientific terms. This portion of the work, it is believed, will be peculiarly acceptable to those who have not time or inclination to learn the meaning of all the terms usually employed in descriptive Botany; and to this part of the book we would advise the practical student to direct his early attention.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
