Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1866 edition. Excerpt: ... CHAPTER II. EARLY SPRING. The essential sign of spring in northern latitudes is the swelling of the buds upon the trees, and those of the sturdy bushes which the husbandman uses for hedges. The appearance of flowers, except to the experienced eye, cannot always be depended upon. Many that would be thought heralds of the new season are in reality relics of the year that has departed, --epitaphs on the summer of six months before, --memorials rather than prophecies. Such is the case with the wall-flower, which is often seen plentifully in bloom in January, unless the winter be very severe, --the succession of flowers from side-shoots having proceeded uninterruptedly perhaps since the previous May. This long-protracted flow of bloom is usually attributable to the flowers being gathered for lovetokens or personal pleasure, and thus hindered from fulfilling the grand purpose for which all flowers are in every case developed, namely, the origination of seed from which new plants shall be reared, to take the place of the parents, when the latter lie withered and dead. As long as a plant is hindered from proceeding with the due preparation of its intended. seeds, so long will it persist in its efforts, and renew them, striving, till all its vitality is exhausted, to leave if it be only a single voucher of its honest toil. A thousand times have I noticed this wonderful and quiet energy in operation. In the fields some hungry quadruped bites off the young green flower-head as a relish to the insipid grass;--no matter, from every joint below, a new shoot is soon put forth; and in a few weeks, where there would have been, perhaps, no more than a single blossom, there are now a dozeo. flowers. So in the garden some lily hand crops a flower white as

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Observations on the Phenomena of Plant Life: A Paper Presented to the Massachusetts Board of Agriculture The observations concerning The Circulation of Sap in Plants, which I had the honor of presenting before the Board of Agriculture at their last country meeting, were so kindly received at the time, and awakened so much interest after their publication, that I have found it impossible to refrain from further investigations upon the phenomena of plant-life. Among the subjects to which special attention has been directed during the year, the following may be enumerated, viz.: First. The structure, composition and arrangement of the winter-buds of hardy trees and shrubs. Specimens for study were collected, in January and February last, from one hun dred and forty species, and some facts of interest recorded. Second. The percentage of water to be found in the branches and roots of trees during their annual period of repose, as well as when in active growth.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Plant-Life Popular Papers on the Phenomena of Botany The author.it certainly is a marked advantage in the study of natural history that it leads you on by the hand; it inveigles you, if I may say so, into learning what is good and what is useful. Many a one might have his mind first opened to the attractions of natural history, which mind if once opened, might perhaps be capable of applying itself beneficially to harder and more repulsive studies. These analogies of natural history are invaluable; they have a most gracious effect in developing the finer faculties of the mind they establish a connection between the different portions of creation. -right Hon.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Plant Life and Evolution The evidence as to the possibility of spontaneous generation at the present time is entirely negative. All of the alleged successful experiments in this direction have been shown to be the result of er rors, and as yet no successful attempts have been made to produce living matter by artificial means. So far as we know at the present time, all living things arise from preexisting ones by some form of reproduction. It is, however, the general belief of biologists, that at some remote period living mat ter arose from inorganic elements. The theory that living germs were brought to the earth from somewhere in space is not generally accepted; and the criticism has been made of this view that, after all, it does not explain the origin of life, but merely the advent of life upon the earth.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Freaks and Marvels of Plant Life; Or Curiosities of Vegetation Text-books remind us of the importance of the vegetable world in its relationship to the animal. They also illustrate the grandeur and beauty which the plant has conferred on the world. It is difficult to form any adequate conception of the vast extent and unlimited variety of vegetable life. All we can do is to pick up here and there some object of special interest, gaze at it, marvel at it, try to com prehend it, if we can, and then pass on, leaving behind us a trackless ocean of wonderful things, to be picked up by our successors, and marvelled at as we have done.

Download or read book The Phenomena of Plant Life written by Leo H Grindon and published by Independently Published. This book was released on 2019-06-10 with total page 94 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Phenomena of Plant Life," by Leo H. Grindon, of Manchester, in which the development from the seed, through the changing seasons of the year, is very pleasantly set forth. There is nothing absolutely new in it; but not a little instruction is arrayed in such a manner that the mind takes it with a kind of refreshment. The last article in the book, on " The Oak " (an appendix to the others), seems to be the initial one of another series, intended by the author to mark out the features of such trees as belong to Britain, inquiring into the specialties that give them their several places in art and poetry. As the present volume is stereotyped, I hope the publishers will be induced to add the remainder of the series to subsequent editions. I notice in this paper that the writer puts it as a postulate that "the mind of that man grows up very differently who in his youth is accustomed to contemplate oaks, than that of him whose boyhood is spent near pines and firs," and this suggests climatic influences in fashioning history which Mr. Kingsley has brought into the sphere of romance in his new novel, "Hereward, the Last of the English," lately issued, with the author's sanction, by Ticknor & Fields.- Round Table, Volume 3
