Abstract
MANY of our county councils have now instituted training colleges for teachers, and laboratories for the instruction of pupils in the elements of agriculture and horticulture. In such establishments Mr. Goff's little treatise, which is now in a second edition, will be most useful. The phenomena of the life of plants are clearly explained, and the details of internal structure sufficiently set forth. The application of these facts to the practical details of cultivation is shown, and stress laid upon the conditions that are propitious, as well as on those that are adverse, to plants. Numerous illustrations are given and, as an appendix, is provided a syllabus of laboratory work containing directions whereby the pupil may be assisted in realising for himself the teachings of the text.
