MYTHS AND LEGENDS OF 



FLOWERS, TREES, FRUITS 



AND PLANTS 



By CHARLES M. SKINNER. The 

 legends of flowers, trees, etc., in all ages 

 and in all climes gathered in one compen- 

 dious volume and alphabetically arranged. 

 The love of flowers and trees (and the 

 dread of some of them) is no new thing, but 

 has persisted in all ages and in all climes. 

 Flowers have therefore gathered about 

 them many stories and have inspired many 

 more. The love of them is incomplete 

 without a knowledge of these legends, of 

 such absorbing interest in themselves and 

 their associations, and hitherto so difficult 

 to locate in history and in literature. A 

 beautiful volume with decorated cover and 

 title page, photogravure frontispiece and 10 

 double-tone illustrations after noted paint- 

 ings, etc. Crown Octavo. $1.60
