Excerpt from Glimpses Into Plant-Life: An Easy Guide to the Study of Botany
When I was a young girl I can well remember how much I longed for some simple book that would help me to learn, not merely the name of a plant and what class and order it belonged to, but something about its life-history.
It seemed very wonderful that, if I put seeds into the ground, dry and dead as they looked, I might feel sure young plants would presently come up; that, if I planted an acorn, a young oak-tree would in due time be seen; but how all this came to pass I could not discover.
