A charming book about wild flowers containing 288 color illustrations of flowers with corresponding explanatory text. From the Introduction- "It is to familiarize Americans with their incomparable wild flowers in detailed form and color, that this work was designed. Ever since its first pages were commenced, the publishers have been earnestly urged by leading botanists to resist all temptation to make fanciful pictures, as is so generally done in commemorative cards. Great stress was laid on the advisability of giving each flower just as it grows, just as it looks in nature. Only by this method could it have its highest educational value." Bound book edition (individual issues were published weekly). Periodical covers are not bound in, and this is unpaginated.
