Arranged to follow the school year from autumn to summer, this book takes children through fruits and seeds, young plants, roots and stems, buds, leaves and flowers. Its author, who wrote How to Know the Wild Flowers as Mrs. William Starr Dana, ends with a section on learning to see, arguing that few people truly look at the green world around them.
