First published in 1910, "Practical Plant Physiology" is an accessible
guide to elementary botany. Originally designed for students and
teachers, it offers an introductory outline of the experiments and
experimental methods used in botany and plant investigation, as well as
other useful information related to the subject. This volume will be of
considerable utility to those with an interest in plants and botany, and
it would make for a fantastic addition to collections of allied
literature. Contents include: "The Problem of Plant-Physiology and the
Method by which They are to be Solved", "Germination", "The Mode of
Germination of Seeds", "The Parts of the Seed and Seedling", "The
Resting and Active States of Seeds", "The Food-Materials of Seeds",
"Changes During Germination", etc. Many vintage books such as this are
increasingly scarce and expensive. It is with this in mind that we are
republishing this volume now complete with a specially-commissioned new
introduction on botany.
