Our Garden Flowers: A Popular Study Of Their Native Lands, Their Life Histories, and Their Structural Affiliations - Couverture rigide
Présentation de l'éditeur
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 affliations. A mong 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 flowering herbs commonly found in a hardy garden, it is by no means intended to be a catalogue. The half-tones are from photographs, of which the larger number 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 Keflfer, of Lake Erie College, Painesville, Ohio. The following list names the books which have been especially helpful in the preparation of this volume: Cyclopedia of American Horticulture, L. H. Bailey; Favorite Flowers of Garden and Greenhouse, Edward Step, F.L.S., and William Watson, F.R.H.S.; The Flowering Plants of Great Britain, A nne Pratt; Plantes Utiliores, or Illustrations of Useful Plants Employed in the Arts and Medicine, M. A. Burnett; Manual of the Flora of the United States, M. L. Britton; Gray s New Manual of Botany, seventh edition; Gray s Field, Forest, and Garden Botany, revised edition.
