Excerpt from Our Garden Flowers: A Popular Study of Their Native Lands, Their Life Histories, and Their Structural Affiliations This book is the outcome of a lifelong search for a volume with which one might make a little journey into the garden, and become acquainted with the dwellers therein, their native land, their life history, their structural affiliations. Among the many species of a genus it has often been necessary to select but one for description. As a rule the choice has been either the typical form, or the one longest in cultivation, or the greatest favorite. While it has been the aim to make the book a fairly complete study of all the annual and perennial ¿owering herbs commonly found in a hardy garden, it is by no means intended to be a cata logue. The half-tones are from photographs, of which the larger num ber were made by Mr. Nathan R. Graves, of Rochester, New York. The outline drawings, with the exception of the few that are marked, are the work of Miss Mary Keffer, of Lake Erie College, Painesville, Ohio. The following list names the books which have been especially helpful in the preparation of this volume. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
