Every plant is fighting to live, and Liberty Hyde Bailey makes that struggle the way in. His beginner's botany moves from the contest for survival and plant societies to the plant body, seeds, germination, and roots, all in clear classroom steps. A warm first course in how plants work. Start seeing the green world as a living struggle.

Every copy includes a printable PDF edition, a beautifully typeset book you can print, mark up in the margins, and keep on your shelf. Yours the moment you own it.
