A BOOK WELL WORTH HAVING 
‘THE PASSING PARADE, by Frederick W. Oswald, is a work of art, love, patience 
. 
and perseverance. The book consists of many exquisitely detailed drawings made from 
living specimens the author has found on his jaunts through the woods and fields in 
the past few years. Coupled with the pictures is an itinerary, beginning in the early 
days of March, describing in fond words the plants that are to be found in bloom from 
day to day. It is not a book for a botanist, lacking all the necessary and confusing 
botanical terms and Latin names, but every species treated can easily be identified by 
comparison with the Pictures. The printing was done by pen and ink over typewrite 
impression by the author, off-set printed and hand bound by the author. Price $3.00.
