Abstract
A GLANCE at the illustration at the beginning of this book, which illustrates the adventures of running sap, is sufficient to show that the book is constructed on unusual lines. Upon critical examination, probably any regular reader of NATURE could find some section which might undergo alteration in the interest of accuracy. At the same time, most readers would regretfully disclaim the capacity to produce such a book, and the vast majority would agree with the reviewer that its production is a definite gain to botany as well as to the community.
