THE OOLOGIST 



lover of nature, who adds to exception- 

 al literary feeling the rare gift of mak- 

 ing instruction thoroughly enjoyable 

 by a style at once clear, entertaining 

 and imaginative. The book carries us 

 through the whole season with the flow- 

 ers 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 dis- 

 criminate it widely from the ordinary 

 "botany") enhance, through their in- 

 trinsic attractiveness, its power to in- 

 struct.
