ENGLISH NAMES FOR WILD AND 

 GARDEN FLOWERS 



IN the following list of English flower-names those familiar to us in the garden are 

 not recorded, for the good reason that throughout the entire work where a 

 sensible English name is available it has been used. Thus, on page 52, 

 " Matthiola bicornis" is called " Night-scented Stock " ; and so where an oppor- 

 tunity is given plant nomenclature has been made easy.
