Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Manual of Experimental Botany
There is something in an experiment which appeals to the mind of the young. The innate desire to find out what is in a toy, how it works, and why various things happen, is largely responsible for this.
Chemistry and physics owe their great popularity to the fact that they have been taught by experiment. Zoology and botany have always been less popular because they have often been taught without experimentation.
In the days when morphology was the summum bonum of botanical study, there could be small room for experiment. But in these later years, when the science has been taught more along physiological lines, the use of experiment has come into more general vogue.
