With lUustyations. One Volume. Large Cvoivn Svo. 7s. 6d. net. 



Hitherto Mr. John Trevena has been known to the public as 

 a noveHst only. Here he reveals that portion of his life which 

 has been devoted to the studying, the collecting, and the growing 

 of wild flowers, more especially those which are to be found upon 

 the peaks and pastures of the Alps. In this book he invites 

 readers to accompany him upon a series of expeditions, chiefly 

 among the mountains which divide Italy from Switzerland, some- 

 times across an English down or pasture ; and during these 

 rambles he drav/s attention to the flowers which grow beside the 

 path ; mentioning the adventures he has enjoyed while collecting 

 them ; and telling a few stories concerning the people who dwell 

 in the tiny villages of the Alpine region. Realizing that nobody 

 wants to be troubled with dry botanical details, the author 

 merely gives a list of some of the plants which a pedestrian may 

 chance upon during an extensive wandering in the Alps, adding 

 his own comments upon them. He has much to say concerning 

 the people of various nationalities he has met with upon his 

 expeditions. He traces the great rock-myth of the Saxifrage back 

 to its inception, venturing in this matter to propose a new theory. 

 He describes the character of Alpine peasants, and gives advice 

 to travellers. This is a book which should delight all gardeners ; 

 and prove of deep interest to those who have not bestowed 

 more than a passing glance upon wild flowers.
