This new edition has been enlarged, revised, and entirely reset, the

colored plates from drawings by Miss ELSIE LOUISE SHAW, made especially
for this edition. _The Nation_ says: "Every flower-lover who has spent
weary hours puzzling over a botanical key in the efforts to name unknown
plants, will welcome this satisfactory book, which stands ready to lead
him to the desired knowledge by a royal road. The book is well fitted
to the need of many who have no botanical knowledge and yet are
interested in wild flowers."
"I am delighted with it.... It is so exactly the kind of work needed for
outdoor folks who live in the country but know little of systematic
botany, that it is a wonder no one has written it before."--_Hon.
Theodore Roosevelt_.
"It is not often that a book so suggestive of pleasure, pure and simple,
comes our way. So far as we recall books on flowers, it is the first
that makes country walks an intelligent joy for those who know nothing
of botany but who have eyes to see and minds to question."--_The New
York Times_.
