(FRANCES THEODORA PARSONS)

 WILD FLOWERS 



With colored plates and black-and-white drawings. 

 Crown 8vo, $2.00 net. 



"I am delighted with it ... it is exactly the kind of work 

 needed for out-door folk who live in the country but know little 

 of systematic botany. It is a wonder no one has written it be- 

 fore." Hon. THEODORE ROOSEVELT. 



" 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. 



HOW TO KNOW THE FERNS 



With 150 full-page illustrations. Crown 8vo, $1.50 net. 



" This is a notably thorough little volume. The text i3 not 

 voluminous, and even with its many full-page illustrations the 

 book is small ; but brevity, as we are glad to see so many writ- 

 ers on nature learning, is the first of virtues in this field. . . . 

 The author of ' How to Know the Ferns ' has mastered her 

 subject and she treats it with authority." New York Tribune. 



". The inspiration that entered into and made 'How to 

 Know the Wild Flowers ' so deservedly popular has not been 

 lost in 'How to Know the Ferns.'" New York Times. 



"From cover to index the book is tastefully and skilfully 

 gotten up ... the illustrations are abundant and well exe- 

 cuted." The Dial.
