    Paperback (HardPress Publishing, Jan. 10, 2012)
    Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.

Not illustrated. 1908 Excerpt: ...these food materials, oxygen gas is given off as a waste product--waste so far as the plant is concerned. It will be seen, therefore, that while animals pollute the atmosphere by exhaling carbonic acid gas, plants, in the process of feeding, absorb and decompose this poisonous gas, retaining the carbon which it contains for their own use, and giving back its pure oxygen (which is of no use to the plant) to the atmosphere. Thus the animal supplies the carbon which is the chief food of the plant, and the plant in return affords the pure oxygen so needful to animal life. As previously remarked, a continuous water supply is necessary in the feeding process of the plant, and this is, of course, absorbed from the soil by the roots. From the roots it is passed through wood and pipe-like tissues up the stem to the leaves, and there the water-mains, so to speak, thin down and form a delicate network (popularly known as the veins or nervures), eventually becoming lost amongst the more simple cellular structure of the leaf. Here, then, we have the plant feeding on carbonic acid gas by means of its leaves, and drawing water from the soil through its roots. Although a leaf is generally but a very flat, thin structure, yet it is built up of several kinds of tissues. If we examine a section of a leaf under a microscope (Fig. 98), we find that above and below there is a surface skin or epidermal layer, and that between these layers two other kinds of tissues appear, amongst which the vascular strands or veins are embedded. The two epidermal layers in most leaves show a very different appearance; the upper layer is formed of rounded or, perhaps, brick-shaped cells placed closely together, and forming a strong protective covering to the more important tissues beneath.
