BOOKS ON GARDEN 

 FIELD AND WOOD 



Our Garden Flo^vers 



By HARRIET L. KEELER 



Author of "Our Native Trees" and "Our Northern 

 Shrubs." With 96 full-page illustrations from photo- 

 graphs and 186 illustrations from drawings. Crown 

 8vo, $2.00 net; postage extra. 



A popular study of the life histories of familiar flowers, 

 their structural affiliations, their native lands, that has those 

 qualities of clearness, thoroughness, and charm of style that 

 have made her other books famous. 



It is beautifully illustrated. 



"This book," says its author in her preface, "is the outcome 

 of a life-long search for a volume with which one might make a 

 little journey into the garden, and become acquainted with the 

 dwellers therein; their native land, their life history, their struc- 

 tural affiliations. 



"Among the many species of a genus it has often been neces- 

 sary to select but one for description. As a rule the choice has 

 been either the typical form, or the one longest in cultivation, or 

 the greatest favorite. 



"While it has been the aim to make the book a fairly complete 

 study of all the annual and perennial flowering herbs commonly 

 found in a hardy garden, it is by no means intended to be a 

 catalogue." 



Full of practical, tested, systematically arranged, and 

 well indexed information.
