Abstract

TN the prefatory words of the author, “the issuance of this book has been stimulated in part by the expressed need…for a text or reference book which will give the student a knowledge of the botany of common orchard, garden, and field crops.…” A text-book which achieved this object would be indeed a boon, for, with the exception of Percival's “Agricultural Botany,” we know of no book which treats of economic plants in such a way as to expound the principles of botanical science and to provide knowledge directly useful to the person interested in the cultivation of food crops. The Botany of Crop Plants. A Text and Reference Book. By Prof. W. W. Robbins. Pp. xx + 681. (Philadelphia: P. Blakiston's Son and Co., 1917.) Price 2 dollars net.
