Illustrated and index. This book supplies a long felt want in this country by providing a simple explanation of the manner in which plants function and the conditions necessary for their growth. Wherever possible technical terms have been avoided, and those essential to a proper understanding of the subject have been fully explained. Over one hundred illustrations contribute to a clear exposition of the subject.
In the early chapters, the authors (both well-known members of the professional staff of Massey Agricultural College) deal briefly but lucidly with the structure and functions of different parts of the living plant and provide a sound basis for the applicaton of the subject matter of the remaining chapters. These are concerned with plant breeding and propagation, natural and synthetic hormones and their uses, conditions influencing the growth of plants and the germination of seeds and the control of weeds.
