A delightful volume giving flower facts, rather than mere 

 names and classifications. It is written by a true lover of 

 nature, who adds to exceptional literary feeling the rare gift 

 of making instruction thoroughly enjoyable by a style at once 

 clear, entertaining and imaginative. The book carries us 

 through the whole season with the flowers as they make their 

 appearance. It is accurate in its illustrations and text to the 

 point of scientific precision, and its style and method (which 

 discriminate it widely from the ordinary " botany ") enhance, 

 through their intrinsic attractiveness, its power to instruct. 



" A valuable and interesting little work. Much quaint 

 and out-of-the-way knowledge is gathered into its pages and 

 communicated with friendly simplicity. Odd facts in the 

 history of plants are explained in such a winsome way that it 

 is not until the reader closes the book that he realizes how 

 much scientific information has been administered to him. 

 Many reminders of field and forest may be found in this 

 delightful little volume." New York Tribune.
