BOOKS ON GARDEN FIELD AND WOOD
How to Know the Wild Flowers
By MRS. WILLIAM STARR DANA
With 48 colored plates and new black-and-white drawings, enlarged, rewritten, and entirely reset.
A guide to the names, haunts, and habits of our native wild flowers. With 48 full-page colored plates by ELSIE LOUISE SHAW, and 110 full-page illustrations by MARION SATTERLEE. Crown 8vo, $2.00 _net_.
"Readers will find that even a bowing acquaintance with the flowers repays one generously for the effort expended in its achievement," says the author in her introduction. "Such an acquaintance serves to transmute the tedium of a railway journey into the excitement of a tour of discovery. It causes the monotony of a drive through an ordinarily uninteresting country to be forgotten in the diversion of noting the wayside flowers, and counting a hundred different species where formerly less than a dozen would have been detected. It invests each boggy meadow and bit of rocky woodland with almost irresistible charm."
"She has systematized her facts in a compact and convenient form. She is practical and terse, and is also alive to the things which are not entirely matters of fact."--_New York Tribune._
Miss C. W. Hunt, Superintendent of Children's Department, Brooklyn Public Library, says: "Get this book if you only carry one flower book on your vacation."
"Particularly noteworthy for its beautiful colored plates, about fifty in number. So beautifully were these made that in many cases the actual flower seems starting from the page, and one can almost fancy the perfume, too, is in evidence."
--_New York Times._
By Mrs. WILLIAM STARR DANA (FRANCES THEODORA PARSONS)
ACCORDING TO SEASON
Talks about the flowers in the order of their appearance in the woods and fields. With 32 full-page illustrations in colors from drawings by Elsie Louise Shaw. $1.75 _net_.
"It is a privilege to own such a book, for its artistic charm and its contents well deserve their setting."--_The Dial._
"The charm of this book is as pervading and enduring as is the charm of nature."--_New York Times._
"Delightful talks upon the beauty of the changing year and the parts contributed to such pleasures by forest, grove, and stream."--_The Interior._
By LOUISE SHELTON
THE SEASONS IN A FLOWER GARDEN
A hand-book of information and instruction for the amateur. Illustrated. $1.00 _net_.
"Pleasant and useful, and may be confidently recommended to amateur gardeners."--_New York Times._

CHARLES SCRIBNER'S SONS 597-599 Fifth Avenue, New York
How to Know the Ferns
By FRANCES THEODORA PARSONS
Author of "According to Season" and "How to Know the Wild Flowers." With 144 illustrations from photographs. Crown 8vo, $1.50 _net_.
Written in the same fresh entertaining way, and with the same care and authority, that made invaluable to nature lovers her work on "How to Know the Wild Flowers."
"Since the publication, six years ago, of 'How to Know the Wild Flowers,'" says the writer, "I have received such convincing testimony of the eagerness of nature lovers of all ages and conditions to familiarize themselves with the inhabitants of our woods and fields, and so many assurances of the joy which such a familiarity affords, that I have prepared this companion volume on 'How to Know the Ferns.'"
"The charm of this book is pervading and enduring as is the charm of nature."--_New York Times._
"This is a notably thorough little volume. The text is not voluminous, and even with its many full-page illustrations the book is small; but brevity, as we are glad to see so many writers on nature learning, is the first of virtues in this field.... The author of 'How to Know the Ferns' has mastered her subject, and she treats of it with authority."--_New York Tribune._
Our Native Trees and How to Identify Them
By HARRIET L. KEELER
With 178 full-page plates from photographs, and 162 text-drawings. Crown 8vo, $2.00 _net_.
The trees described in this volume are those indigenous to the region extending from the Atlantic Ocean to the Rocky Mountains and from Canada to the northern boundaries of the Southern States; together with a few well-known and naturalized foreign trees such as the Horse-Chestnut, Lombardy Poplar, Ailantus, and Sycamore Maple.
"Miss Keeler has made a very commendable addition to the semi-popular treatises on American plants, in a well-written, well-illustrated, and well-printed account of native and naturalized trees. Bits of the best from the poets and prose writers relieve the descriptions, and the folk-lore of a number of trees is well if briefly told."--_American Naturalist._
"To such of the general public as habitually frequent the woods which they love, the book will be most welcome, for it is carefully classified, adequately illustrated, and most readably written."--_Boston Budget._
"It condenses into convenient shape a fund of information spread over many volumes of older works, and blends the practical and poetical in a way to delight all readers."--_St. Louis Globe-Democrat._
Our Northern Shrubs
By HARRIET L. KEELER
With 205 photographic plates and 35 pen-and-ink drawings. Crown 8vo, $2.00 _net_.
The volume is prepared not only for the amateur botanist who seeks a more adequate description than the textbooks afford, and not only for the lover of nature who desires a personal acquaintance with the bushes that grow in the fields; but also to serve those who are engaged in the establishment and decoration of city parks, roadways, and boulevards; those who are seeking to beautify country roadsides and railroad stations as well as those who, in the decoration of their own home grounds, would gladly use our native shrubs were their habits and character better understood.
"Simple, clear descriptions that a child can understand, are given of shrubs that find their home in the region extending from the Atlantic to the Mississippi River, and from Canada to the boundaries of our Southern States."--_Outlook._
"There are over two hundred plates from photographs, and a number from drawings. The photographs, all of shrubs in flower or fruit, are very beautiful, and so clear as to make identification perfectly simple."--_Dial._
"An interesting feature of this book is the sparing but judicious incorporation of quotations from those authors among us who have best interpreted nature."--_Churchman._
Our Garden Flowers
By HARRIET L. KEELER
Author of "Our Native Trees" and "Our Northern Shrubs." With 96 full-page illustrations from photographs and 186 illustrations from drawings. Crown 8vo, $2.00 _net_; postage extra.
A popular study of the life histories of familiar flowers, their structural affiliations, their native lands, that has those qualities of clearness, thoroughness, and charm of style that have made her other books famous.
It is beautifully illustrated.
"This book," says its author in her preface, "is the outcome of a life-long 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 flowering herbs commonly found in a hardy garden, it is by no means intended to be a catalogue."
Full of practical, tested, systematically arranged, and well indexed information.
Transcriber's Notes
Moved some illustrations to paragraph breaks.
Page ix: Corrected listing Preface to page v instead of vii.
Page xi: Corrected order of plate listings XX. and XXI.
Page 48: Corrected GOLDIE'S FERN reference page to 174 instead of 175.
