Their Happiest Hours

Theodore 
S UCH famous men as Theodore Roosevelt, Thomas 
A. Edison, John Burroughs, Henry Ford and Luther 
Burbank have found their greatest enjoyment in their 
understanding and appreciation of Nature. For them 
the fields and forests held a host of friends—the birds, 
the butterflies, the flowers, the trees—each with its own 
individuality, its personal charm. 
Nature abounds with magic. 
For those who know its language 
a wonderful story is told by the 
simplest roadside flower. The 
real enchantment of the out-of- 
doors is lost to those who do not 
know the secrets of Nature, who 
miss its deepest meanings. 
How can the raven he distin¬ 
guished from the crow? What 
bird walks on water ? What 
plant gives a lost traveller his 
hearings? The answers to these 
and thousands of other interesting 
questions are found in the Little 
Nature Library—the beautiful 
four-volume set that brings to you 
the whole wonder world of Na¬ 
ture’s secrets. In this, the most 
popular series of Nature books 
ever published, the story of the 
Birds, the Trees, the Butterflies 
and the Wild Flowers is fas¬ 
cinatingly told by recognized 
authorities, profusely illustrated 
with 144 beautiful full page color 
plates and many black and white 
pictures. 465 different subjects 
are covered, 1200 pages in all.
