This volume has been carefully prepared with two objects in view—to serve
the greatest number of persons in the greatest possible way, and still
have a volume that can be carried comfortably in the pocket. Most of the
coloured paintings have been made from living plants, the balance from
herbarium specimens. The text and pictures incorporate just those points
that will serve to identify each flower as it is most likely to be found.
The introductory pages give the life cycle of a plant from seed to seed.
