Book Description:
In this 1842 monograph, botanist Nathaniel Bagshaw Ward (1791-1868) makes a simple observation: light is among the most important factors in plant growth. To improve the health of plants at home and at sea, he recommends the use of a glass case - a recommendation that soon revolutionised botany.
