Familiar Flowers of Field and Garden

This delightful guide to wild and cultivated flowers offers poetic descriptions that reveal the proper names of familiar blossoms. Naturalist and artist F. Schuyler Mathews based his accurate and lyrical accounts on observations from his wanderings throughout the New England countryside. Organized by season and illustrated by handsome engravings, his reflections state the flowers' color varieties as well as the length of their bloom cycles.
