" One of these days some one will give us a hand-book of our wild flow- 

 ers, by the aid of which we shall all be able to name those we gather in our 

 walks without the trouble of analyzing them. In this book we shall have a 

 list of all our flowers arranged according to color, as white flowers, blue 

 flowers, yellow flowers, pink flowers^ etc., with place of growth and time of 



blooming."
