Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Wonders of Plant Life
ON this crowded earth, one of the chief problems which confront the individual plant is that of find ing room to grow at all. Every available space is so thickly tenanted that it is only the very sturdy, or the very ingenious, subject that can hope to hold its own in the great struggle for a position. The appearance of the June meadows is not in the least suggestive of strife, yet on every foot of the ground there has been waged a battle that has decided the fate of a countless array of units. The tall grass heads, and the graceful Moon Daisies, are but the surface repre sentatives of a densely populated world beneath, the inhabitants of which are SO closely packed together that it is pardonable to wonder how they can exist at all. Indeed, the overcrowding is such that not a trace of the brown earth is Visible in.
