Excerpt from Practical Guide to the Wild Flowers and Fruits Increasing interest in the wild flowers has led to a very general desire to recognize them, even on the part of those who undertake no systematic study of botany. This interest is furthered by the numerous excellent popular works which in their turn encourage the study of the standard authorities.

Excerpt from A Guide to the Wild Flowers It is for this reason that a classification according to the soil in which they grow is feasible. It is a tangible point of which to take hold. And although there are some fickle-minded plants that appear to flourish in different kinds of soil, they may be regarded rather as those straying away from family tradition, than as trustworthy examples. As a rule they are partial to particular kinds of soil and do not thrive nearly so well in other than that allotted to them by Dame Nature. The marsh marigold, with which most of us are familiar when it reaches the sunny, warmer south retires to the wet, cool woods in search of a soil similar to that of its home marshes. The harebell, that is with us a shy plant, hiding itself in shady places and rooting in moist soil, in England ventures out into the meadows and highways. It has there not our midsummer heat with which to contend and finds the soil of the fields not unlike that of our Shaded banks.

Excerpt from Harper's Guide to Wild Flowers This book explains the easiest way Of telling owers and plants. These ways are based upon the new Classification. This Classification is the one presented in the seventh edi tion Of Gray's Manual of Botany, published in 1908. It em bodies the decisions Of the Vienna Congress Of 1905. The Congress came to an agreement respecting the botanical names and Classifications Of American owers, which we hope will not need to be revised. Some Old names, dear to us, have Come back. Greater simplicity as well as perma nency has been aimed for. The first way Of telling owers is by color. It is the simplest means Of identification, and to this the most space is given. Secondly, owers may be identified by their dwelling places or habitats. Thirdly, owers are shown by seasons, the time and order Of their blossoms. This book is a Guide to the owering plants Of the Atlantic seaboard, New England, the Middle States, and, to a limited extent, Of the Southern States. It is interest ing to note the wide latitudinal range Of some plants along the entire Atlantic coast. As the climate grows warmer, plants ascend the mountains, and New Eng land vegetation reappears two thousand feet high in Vir ginia. Plants which are local, and but seldom found, the size Of this book excludes. Plant immigrants, unless well established, are not enumerated. Taking New York as the center of a wide circle, any per son possessing no knowledge Of botany (except such as may be acquired from the Explanation Of Technical Terms) may identify any ower and learn something Of its story. There is every reason to believe that there is need Of a book complete in its means of identification. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Considered the first field guide to American wild flowers when first published in 1893, this revised and enlarged edition contains 156 plates and provides botanical details and lore for nearly five hundred flowering plants personally observed by the author in parts of New England, New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and in the vicinity of Washington, D.C., along with a few found outside this range and east of Chicago. The listings are grouped by color of flower.
Excerpt from How to Know the Wild Flowers: A Guide to the Names, Haunts, and Habits of Our, Common Wild Flowers IN offering the public an edition of How to Know the Wild Flowers, containing colored reproductions from the charming and faithful sketches in water color of Miss Elsie Louise Shaw, we feel sure that we are adding materially to the book's actual value as well as to its attractiveness. As color plates replace, in this edition, certain of the black and white illustrations, these, with a few others have been omitted and Miss Satterlee has added a number of new draw ings. Some of these black and white plates are of flowers not before figured in the book, while others present in fresh forms subjects already illustrated in it. Quite a large number of flowers not found in previous edi tions are now described, and advantage has been taken of the opportunity which the entire resetting of the book afforded for a careful revision of the text. This amplification has seemed ad visable in view of the fact that, during the five years which have elapsed since the publication of a thoroughly revised edition, the peculiar charm or importance of certain plants has so forced itself upon the author's consciousness, or else been brought to her notice so emphatically by others, as to persuade her that their inclusion would not transgress the restrictions originally laid down in the chapter How to Use the Book, restrictions which still seem indispensable if the volume is to be kept small enough to be a convenient companion in the woods and fields, and simple enough to appeal to the unbotanical flower lover. It is hoped that these additions will meet with the approval of the public, which has already attested so generously its eager ness to know the wild flowers.
