B. Britton & Brown, “Illustrated Flora of the Northern States and

international rules of classification than any other available, except
Sargent.

Canada.” Published by the author, Lowville, N. Y., 1907. Includes many

books for beginners in the study of wild flowers of our region.

published by the author, 1903. This is the only complete floral manual
ever published which includes Dallas County. Needed for identification

classification and also out of print. Ditto for the edition of 1913.

the author, New York, 1933. Descriptions technical but helpful in the
identification of a few species not described in many other books. This
