Book Description
Excerpt from The Flowers and Their Story The Author holds that young people are born with a love of Nature, and that by the development of this taste the joy and usefulness of life may be greatly increased. It has been his pleasure for many years to give Nature addresses and lectures to the young, to conduct Guild and School botany classes and Field Club rambles, and in various ways to foster in our young men and maidens, as well as in our children, the love of the beautiful. For nearly a quarter of a century his Flowers and Flower-Lore has been a popular and standard work; and in the present volume the results of long and patient study have been brought together.
