HOW TO KNOW AND WHERE TO FIND 

 THE WILD FLOWERS. 



Wayside and Woodland Blossoms. 



First and Second Series. Pocket Guides to the British 

 Wild Flowers for the Country Rambler. By Edward 

 Step, author of "Favourite Flowers of Garden and 

 Greenhouse," &c. In pocket-book form, size 6^ by 

 4^- ins., in neat art linen gilt, limp binding, round 

 corners, price ys. 6d. each ; or in best French morocco 

 tuck, gilt edges, with expanding Pocket for Notes, 

 Specimens, &c., price los. 6d. each. 



The purpose of these volumes is to assist a very large 

 and increasing class of persons who possess a strong love 

 of flowers, but to whom the ordinary " Floras " are as 

 books written in an unknown tongue. The author's aim 

 has been to write a work that, whilst it satisfied the 

 rambler who merely wishes to identify the flowers of his 

 path, might also serve as a stepping-stone to the "Floras" 

 of Hooker, Bentham, and Boswell-Syme. 



Each volume contains over 120 coloured plates, por- 

 traying about 156 species, drawn direct from nature; among 

 them representatives of all the best-known genera will be 

 found. There are also several black and white plates, and 

 upwards of 400 species are clearly described in the text. 



Mr. Britten, writing of the First Series in Nature Notes, said — " Mr. Step 

 has condensed the best observations into a small compass, and his little 

 volume is greatly in advance of every previous undertaking. It will add 

 very slightly to the bulk of the most restricted arrangement of luggage, and 

 forms an admirable pocket companion for the lover of wild flowers. . . . 

 In it the reader will find much to learn and very little to unlearn, and we 

 know of no other that can be so unreservedly recommended to the tyro in 

 British Botany." 



' ' This is just the little book which every true lover of that particular 

 phase of natural beauty — namely, wild flowers — delights to find in his 

 pocket when rambling along country lanes. The delicately-tinted illustra- 

 tions are absolutely true to their growing counterparts." — Liverpool Mercury. 



" It is an excellent book, which will be welcomed alike by the more 

 learned in flower lore and by the beginner who would be more fully versed 

 in the evolutions of woodland and wayside XxiQ." — Sheffield Daily Telegraph.
