Critical remarks.

“The Volumes of DARTON’S holiday library which have reached us, comprise a most interesting Series of Books for Young People, written by some of our most Popular Authors, and all having a tendency towards the formation of correct principles and habits in the minds of the Young.  They blend amusement with instruction in the most delightful manner.  We cordially recommend them as by far the best books of their class.”

First Lines of Botany,

By W. Bernhard TEGETMEIER.

“This little work is a complete compendium of botanical science, written in a very clear and effective manner, and embodying the most popular classification of plants.  It is a work that may be consulted by the old as well as the young with great advantage, and to those who are fond of gardening it will be of great practical use.”

Specimen from page 57.  The convolvulus tribe.

“181.  The common bind-weed of our hedges may be taken as the representative of this very natural tribe of plants, distinguished by their twining habit, and by the peculiar plaited manner in which the corolla is folded in the bud.”

“182.  The calyx consists of five sepals, two of which are outside the remainder; there are five stamens, and a superior pistil, containing three or four cells, with about two seeds in each.”

Questions appended at the foot.

“181.  What are the marks distinguishing the convolvulus tribe?”

“182.  Describe the remaining parts of the flower?”
