A practical course in botany
Eliza Frances Andrews and Francis Ernest Lloyd
Botany begins with a seed, and Eliza Andrews starts exactly there. Her practical course leads students through how seeds store food, sprout, travel, and grow, backing every idea with hands-on questions and real specimens. A hands-on classic for the beginning botanist. Grow your understanding of plants from the seed up.
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.
