Excerpt from Popular Names of Flowers, Fruits, &C
I hope it is no breach of confidence to say that the gentleman Who made this enquiry is one who takes very great interest in all matters relating to the county of Somerset. I do not pretend to know what was his purpose in asking this question, but I have a suspicion that one of his objects, at any rate, was to elicit and to emphasise the fact that no such list of ?ower names has ever been published for this county, and possibly he had a faint hope that by thus calling attention to the matter in the columns of this paper, some body might be stimulated to take up the work. If he had any such hope the querist can con gratulate himself upon having attained his object, in so far as the list of local names of ?owers which I have compiled and of which I print the first instalment to-day can be regarded as carrying out his ideas. In spite of its many shortcomings (of which I am only too conscious), I believe this list is by far the most complete of its kind that has ever been attempted in this part of England, and its compilation is a direct result of the inser tion of the question quoted above.
