Excerpt from Problems in Botany The rapid development of our country during the last few years has brought about a more general recognition of the great importance of the basic industry of plant production and of the necessity of applying the scientific method to this industry. This recognition emphasizes the importance of the study of the laws of plant growth, whether under the name of botany or of agriculture. In presenting this manual it is the intention to place before high-school pupils a series of problems which have to do with the activities of plants and with their relations to human interests.
