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 63 by 
42, ins. in neat art linen gilt, limp binding, round 
corners, price 7s. 6d. each; or in best French morocco 
tuck, gilt -edges, with expanding Pocket for Notes, 
Specimens, &c., price 10s. 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. Thereare 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 Mature 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." —Lzverpool 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 life.” —Shefield Daily Telegraph.
