Book excerpt: Excerpt from House-Plants as Sanitary Agents: Or, the of Growing Vegetation, to Health and Disease For the immense number of books published the present age is truly phenomenal. Among the various departments of medical literature, as well as those of the natural sciences, there are perhaps few subjects that have not found an author, while many have been treated of by numerous writers. If, then, it be considered excusable, on the one hand, for an author to offer to the world a new volume upon a subject already represented in our libraries by one or more excellent treatises, how much more readily will it be pardoned, on the other, for presenting to the public a branch of scientific literature which in the form of a book has not hitherto found an exponent.

Download or read book The First Book of Plants Classic Reprint written by Alice Dickinson and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-12-06 with total page 94 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The First Book of Plants Plants grow almost everywhere in the world around us in all sizes and shapes. Some are so small that they can be seen only with a microscope. Others, like the redwood trees of Cali lornia, tower high in the sky. Plants grow not only in well watered soil, but in oceans, rivers, lakes and swamps, in deserts, on rocks, far above the ground on branches of trees, on old pieces of wood, even on such unlikely things as crusts of bread, old shoes, or on top of arctic snow. Some strange plants eat insects, and others steal food from their neighbors. Plants and animals are the living, growing things of the earth. Most animals move around, and many of them have sound apparatuses, for making noises. Most plants spend their whole lives silently in one place. Because they live so quietly, we sometimes forget that during their growing seasons they work hard all day long. For plants are just as alive as animals, and they have the same problems: finding and keeping a place to live, getting food, fighting animal enemies and plant rivals.
