Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Wonders of Vegetation
The trees of our orchards, the vast forests, which for months have presented only bare trunks, and seemed immovable, inert objects, which death had claimed for its own, become green again, clothe themselves once more with fresh leaves and spread their shade over the peaceful retreats of the country. The habit of seeing each year repeating the same marvel - the same resurrection from death to life, keeps us from ap preciating it in all its grandeur, and recognizing in it the prodigious forces at work. But if we think for an instant of the aspect of winter and of that of the season which succeeds it, we will be ourselves surprised at the indifference with which we often regard' these changes, without even a passing glance or an earnest thought.
