Présentation de l'éditeur
Why, then comes in the sweet othe year. A utolycuf Song. GOVERNESSES used to tell us that the seasons of the year each consist of three months, and of these March, A pril, and May make the springtime. I should like to break the symmetry, and give February to spring, which would then include February, March, A pril, and May. It has been said that winter is but autumn shyly shaking hands with spring. We will, accordingly, make winter a short link of two months an autumnal and a vernal hand December and January. It is a little sad for autumn to have to make room for chill November alongside of the happier months of September and October. But autumn is a season of decadence and cannot justly complain. The autumnal flowers, which may be allowed to figure as a prelude to spring, are few in number. My favourite is ladys tresses (S piranthes so called from the spiral twist in its inflorescence, which suggests braided hair. Gentiana amarella I should like to include, but its flowering-time is from I2th August to 8th September, and summer has the 1F rom the Cornhill Magazine ,M arch 1919.

Présentation de l'éditeur
This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.
