Excerpt from Elementary Plant Physiology
A translation of Oel's "Pflanzenphysiologische Versuche," by the author of this volume, was published in 1894, and the entire edition was exhausted within a few months after its appearance. A similar elementary text, "Experimental Plant Physiology," was prepared at once and published in 1895, the last copy of which was sold in October, 1901. Meanwhile the "Practical Text-book of Plant Physiology," presenting a brief outline of the entire subject, with details of experimental methods suitable for the exact analyses requisite in research work, has been brought,out.
The present little volume has been arranged to replace the "Experimental Plant Physiology" (1895) and to meet the constantly increasing demand for a course in elementary demonstrations which may be followed by beginners in the subject of botany. Experimentation is purposely confined to the principles capable of demonstration by the simplest methods, and without the costly and complex apparatus of a fully equipped laboratory. Furthermore, an arrangement of the book into a number of courses has been made to meet the exigencies of instruction in schools of various types.
I am indebted to Dr. C. C. Curtis, of Columbia University, and to Dr. H. M. Richards, of Barnard College, for many valuable suggestions and for their kindness in reading proofs.
