" I am delighted with it. . . . It so exactly the kind of work needed 

 for outdoor folks who live in the country but know little of systematic botany 

 that it is a wonder no one has written it before."— ^(?«. Theodore Roosevelt. 



"It is not often that a book so suggestive of pleasure, pure and simple, 

 comes our way. So far as we recall books on flowers, it is the first that makes 

 country walks an intelligent joy for those who know nothing of botany and 

 who have eyes to see and minds to question."— T'//^ New York Times. 



" Every flower-lover who has spent weary hours puzzling over a botanical 

 key in the effort to name unknown plants, will welcome this satisfactory book, 

 which stands ready to lead him to the desired knowledge by a royal road." 



—The Nation.
