WILD FLOWERS 



This is a volume that should be in every private and public 

 library. Every one likes flowers and this book has full-page 

 plates showing in natural colors 320 species of our common 

 wild flowers. The plates are made by the three-color process 

 from water-color drawings made to show the flowers and 

 the leaves to the best advantage both from an artistic stand- 

 point and as an aid to identification. It is a pleasure to be 

 able to identify the flowers that we find so readily, and it is 

 a pleasure to turn over the pages and have recalled to our 

 mind the places in which we have seen those very flowers. 

 The text is quite complete and very interesting. It deals 

 with all the characteristic habits of each species and its 

 means and devices for propagating itself Describes the 

 interesting ways in which plants travel from one locality to 

 another and the preferred habitat of each species.

GUIDE TO TAXIDERMY 



A practical and thorough instructor in the art of mounting 

 birds, animals, fish, game heads, etc. We do not advocate 

 the killing and mounting of specimens for ornamental pur- 

 poses, but birds are often destroyed accidentally and there 

 should be some one in every community capable of preserving 

 them for strictly scientific or museum purposes. One who 

 is proficient can turn the knowledge into cash by mounting 

 trophies for sportsmen during the game season. This book 

 teaches the right and permanent methods of taxidermy. 

 Each step is fully illustrated as well as described so that it is 

 very easy to learn and requires only practice to do perfect 

 work.
