BOOK REVIEW 

 A Guide to the Wild Flowers* 



"This book is for those to whom it is difficult, or tedious, or 

 perhaps impossible, to find wild flowers in technical works, and 

 irritating not to find them in 'How To Know' books." The 

 introduction thus gives the plan of the book. Its unique feature 

 is the series of simple keys using very few words that are not 

 understood by everyone. These short keys are numbered and 

 are scattered through the book close to the plants to which 

 they refer, making it a simple matter to find the flower de- 

 scribed. Outline drawings on every page make the determina- 

 tion sure. At the end of the book is a finding list based on color,
