Excerpt from The Plant World, Vol. 20 Turning to the internal growth of physiology, I wish to mention first some alterations in general physiological philosophy that have become especially evident during these twenty-five years, and afterwards to direct your attention to a few of what appear to me as import-ant forward steps in the special science of plant physiology.

Excerpt from The Plant World, Vol. 3 The fall of 1892 was very dry, and a piece of woodland near Oakwood, Staten Island, N. Y., was burned over. Some of the swamps included in the area continued to burn for about two months in spite of several rains. To walk in one of the burnt swamps after the fire was out, was like tramping in the snow; the ashes were ankle deep and soft and fine. Many red maples two feet in diameter had fallen. There were also a few trees of other kinds. Their roots had been burned and a strong north wind, that came later, had blown them down.

Excerpt from The Plant World, Vol. 5 The Garden, as now improved, includes approximately forty-five acres, devoted to a formal flower garden, various synopses of botanical or economical significance, a fruticetum, an arboretum, and a moderate sized range of houses, some of old model and others of recent construc tion in accordance with the present practice in plant-house building. The planting in these divisions the Garden is in part formal, in part natural, and, while the transitions are not always satisfactory, the ex treme representations of the two methods are fairly successful. In the plant-houses, in addition to ranges furnished with, staging, which is best suited to the growth and display of certain kinds of plants, other ranges are devoted to representative collections of a homogeneous character, planted out in as natural a way as may be. There are, for instance, a fern house, a tree-fern tower, an acacia house, a yucca tower, and a cactus house, in which the impression produceable by each of these classes of plants is accentuated by the natural manner in which they are grown.

Excerpt from The Plant World, Vol. 4 The peculiar power, mentioned above, of the parts of the plant which face the rising sun is repeatedly referred to, and to the same class of facts belongs this, that the root of Smilax China, which God created here, plucked when the moon is on the increase, is an even better remedy for pains, tumors, etc., than the celebrated Palo de China, which rots the bones. Let them that do not believe this take from the sepulchre one who has been cured by the Palo de China and they shall see all his bones rotted.
