WILD FLOWERS OF NEW YORK 5 



into the field on every visit and has selected every subject which is here 

 reproduced. 



The color illustrations must speak for themselves. They have been 

 executed with most painstaking care by the quadricolor process, and the 

 living and growing plants have been reproduced in their colors as near to 

 those of natt-.re as now seems possible. Credit for the printing and binding 

 of the work should be given to the J. B. Lyon Company of Albany, but 

 the Matthews- Northrup Company of Buffalo and the Zeese-Wilkinson 

 Company of New York are to be accredited with the qualit}^ and making 

 of the color plates. 



As such, then, the.se volumes are given to the people of the State and 

 as such, we believe, they would have this service rendered. 



Very respectfully 



JOHN M. CLARKE
