liscussion of fruits, page 20, by Dr. John T. Buchholz, professor of 
botany in the University of Illinois. 
The set of illustrations which accompanied the original manu- 
script was the work of Mrs. Charlotte Liebtag Grant of the Univer- 
sity of Illinois department of botany. Her drawings have for the 
most part been retained; however, where alterations or new ones 
were needed they have been furnished by Dr. Carl O. Mohr, asso- 
ciate entomologist and artist for the Survey. The frontispiece is a 
water color by Cecil Vincent Donovan, assistant professor of art 
in the University of Illinois. 
In final form, the book was planned, styled and indexed, and 
the work of the several contributors unified, by Mr. Carroll 
Chouinard, editor for the Survey.

—’t is and ever was my wish and way 
To let all flowers live freely, and all die 
(Whene’er their Genius bids their souls depart) 
Among their kindred in their native place. 
I never pluck the rose; the violet’s head 
Hath shaken with my breath upon its bank 
And not reproacht me; the ever-sacred cup 
Of the pure lily hath between my hands 
Felt safe, unsoiled, nor lost one grain of gold.
