Familiar Flowers of Field and Garden

<div>Naturalist and artist F. Schuyler Mathews observes, "Time progresses and the botanist changes his opinion but the wildflower never changes, and with a little help we can recognize our flower." In this&nbsp;delightful guide to wild and cultivated flowers, Matthews offers a treasury of poetic descriptions that reveal the blossoms' proper names, from violets and pansies to the common thistle and the Jerusalem artichoke. Mathews based his accurate and lyrical accounts on observations from his wanderings throughout the New England countryside. Organized by season and illustrated by more than 200 of the author's handsome engravings, these reflections state the flowers' color varieties as well as the length of their bloom cycles -- plus "a little friendly gossip based on personal experience." A Systematical Index and a Floral Calendar provide quick and easy references.</div>

With its pretty paintings and delicate line drawings, this facsimile of a lovely botanical guide from 1904 captures all the charm of an earlier era--and yet remains wonderfully informative today. You'll treasure this for the closely rendered images, but it will still assist you in identifying flowers or fruits by color, as well as the butterflies, bumblebees, and other insects so important to their propagation. Proceed according to family, through the cattails and the burweed, the water plantains (including white and yellow arrowheads), the handsome lilies (among them the large pink trillium), the crowroots (golden marsh marigolds and tall buttercups), roses, and many more flowers of the field. All include growing season, description, and other vital facts. Whether you want to recognize what you see as you wander through a meadow or simply want a beautiful book to show off, this rarity is sure to please.
