(FRANCES THEODORA PARSONS) 



HOW TO KNOW THE 

 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 Ahitioii. 



HOW TO KNOW THE FERNS 



With 150 full-page illustrations. Crown Svo, $1.50 iief. 



" This is a notably thorough little volume. The text is 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 Items' has mastered her 

 subject and she treats it with authority." — AVtc J'or/' Trihiiiie. 



" 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.'" — iVew York Tiiiics. 



"From cover to index the book is tastefully and skilfully 

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

 cuted." — The Dial.
