Class III.—Botany.
This is commenced about the middle of March, and is continued until
the end of the session.
The time is mainly devoted to the study of flowering plants—their
analysis and determination. Cryptogamic Botany, especially fungi and
fungoid diseases of plants, receive as much attention as circumstances
allow.
These classes may be taken separately; and a certificate of proficiency
will be conferred for satisfactory attainment in the class of Botany.
The following Text-Books are used in this school:
"How Crops Grow," and "How Crops Feed," by Johnson;" "Scientific Agriculture,"
by Pendleton; "Manual of Zoology," by Nicholson; "School and Field Book
of Botany," by Gray.
The following may be usefully referred to in connection with different parts of the
course: Carpenter's "Zoology;" Harris' "Insects Injurious to Vegetation;" Mivart's
Comparative Anatomy;" "Flora of the Southern States," by Chapman; "How to
Farm Profitably," by Mechi; "Armsby on Cattle Feeding," and "Law's Veterinary
Adviser."
