James M. Anders (1854 - 1936) was a Physician and Philanthropist who focused on researching plants and forestry, and their relation to human health. This piece covers that study, looking to connect the practice of growing vegetation in one's home and potential sanitary benefits, and would be an excellent find for any botanists, or anyone with an interest in growing plants.
