Plants and Their Children (Classic Reprint) - Softcover

Excerpt from Plants and Their Children

Through the neglect of nature study, the wits of the country child lose just the sharpening they most need, to say nothing of a stim ulus and delight which can ill be spared by one whose mental life is apt to be monotonous.

The wits of the City child may secure in other ways the sharpening so essential to success in life; yet the training afforded by a logical study of plants, and the pleasure which such a study, rightly directed, is sure to yield, are as invaluable to him as to his country cousin.
