DOWNLOAD EBOOKExcerpt from Practical d104-Book of Plant Physiology The arrangement of the subject in the following pages is an effort to place before the student a method by which a working knowledge of the physiological complex of the plant 'may be ac quired. The disposition of the subject matter entailed by this treatment consists, briefly stated, in the study of the particular functions and properties of the organism, in connection with the agencies and forces which influence or initiate them, and a con sideration of the general processes of plant life. To this end the first portion of the book, inclusive of chapters I. - VII., is devoted chiefly to the special forms of irritability exhibited by typical organisms, and the second part is taken up with a more critical consideration of the broader phases of the activity of the plant a treatment of the subject well adapted to the convenience of the independent worker, and to the exigencies of instruction.
