Book Description
Excerpt from Old and New Plant Lore: A Symposium The study of plants is called botany. The word botany may suggest a vague world outside of man's ordinary ex perience, a world dominated by long and fearsome Latin names. As a matter of fact, forbidding Latin names form a very small part of botany and need repel no one. F ur thermore, the average man actually has more knowledge of botany than he realizes. Agriculture, horticulture, gardening - even the making of a lawn - are applied botany. He knows also that potatoes, rice, and bread contain starch and that sweet fruits and sweet potatoes contain sugar; and he realizes, if he gives the matter sufli cient thought, that starch and sugar are plant products and that plants are a great factory in which much of our sustenance is manufactured. This world of plants, with which we animals Share the earth, is of such interest and beauty as to be well worth at least enough study to open our eyes to its everyday marvels. So much study we propose to give here. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
