This attractive little book merits the success which it has al- 
ready met with, not only for its numerous and excellent illustra- 
tions, but for the clear and simple descriptions of our common 
flowers, as well as for the interesting information of a scientific or 
literary nature. The arrangement is by colors, and seasons and 
the habits, uses and popular names receive due mention. There 
are 104 full-page illustrations, which alone would make it easy to 
recognize most of the pretty wild flowers. E. Gc 8:
