Excerpt from Principles of Plant Culture: An Elementary Treatise Designed as a Text-Book for Beginners in Agriculture and Horiculture This book has grown out of the author's experience in the lecture room and laboratory, while giving instruction to students in the Short Course in Agriculture, in the University of Wisconsin. It is intended especially for students who have had little or no previous instruction in botany, and it is hoped that it may also be found interesting and profitable to the general reader who would learn more of the principles that underlie the culture of plants. It is expected that the instructor will amplify the text in proportion to the time at his command, and the capacity of his students. In the author's practice, the first three chapters have been found sufficient for a term of twelve weeks, and the remaining chapters, supplemented with some special work in horticulture, have served for a second term. A syllabus of laboratory work is added as an appendix. It is hoped that this book may prove as useful to other instructors as it has proved to the author during its evolution.
