Methods in Plant Histology

Abstract

SINCE the first edition of this book appeared in 1901 it has become a well-known manual of laboratory methods. Its usefulness may be judged from the succession of editions of continually increasing size. The present edition is largely re-written—a task necessitated in part by the stimulus to improvement in technique resulting from previous editions. There are additional hints on details of method throughout the book, and these are especially valuable in the field of cytological technique, where success—like genius—depends upon an infinite capacity for taking pains.
