PREFACE 
“Flowers of Mountain and Plain” is intended primarily for travel- 
ers and flower lovers who wish a short cut to recognizing flowers seen 
on excursions or from car windows. It may also serve as a souvenir 
of pleasant summer days or vacation trips. The book consists of the 
twenty-five color plates to be found in “Rocky Mountain Flowers” 
(Clements and Clements, 1914), representing one hundred and sev- 
enty-five of the most beautiful and striking flowers of the mountains 
and plains of the West. If it succeeds in opening the eyes of the 
passer-by to an appreciation of the flowers by the way, or in further 
stimulating an already awakened interest, it will have served its pur- 
pose. EpirH S. CLEMENTS.

PREFACE TO THE SECOND EDITION 
Opportunity has been taken of the demand for a second edition of 
“Flowers of Mountain and Plain” to add a simple text to the plates. 
It is hoped that this will increase the interest in the flowers of the 
region and help create a sentiment in favor of their preservation.
