Detective and mystery stories
No work of its class has ever been issued that contains so much
valuable information, presented with such felicity and charm. The
colored plates are true to nature. By their aid alone any bird
illustrated may be readily identified. Sportsmen will especially
relish the twenty-four color plates which show the more important
birds in characteristic poses. They are probably the most valuable
and artistic pictures of the kind available to-day.
NATURE'S GARDEN. An Aid to Knowledge of Our Wild Flowers and Their
Insect Visitors. 24 colored plates, and many other illustrations
photographed directly from nature. Text by Neltje Blanchan. Large
Quarto, size 7-3/4x10-3/8. Cloth. Formerly published at $3.00 net. Our
special price, $1.25.
Superb color portraits of many familiar flowers in their living
tints, and no less beautiful pictures in black and white of
others--each blossom photographed directly from nature--form an
unrivaled series. By their aid alone the novice can name the
flowers met afield.
Intimate life-histories of over five hundred species of wild
flowers, written in untechnical, vivid language, emphasize the
marvelously interesting and vital relationship existing between
these flowers and the special insect to which each is adapted.
The flowers are divided into five color groups, because by this
arrangement any one with no knowledge of botany whatever can
readily identify the specimens met during a walk. The various
popular names by which each species is known, its preferred
dwelling-place, months of blooming and geographical distribution
follow its description. Lists of berry-bearing and other plants
most conspicuous after the flowering season, of such as grow
together in different kinds of soil, and finally of family groups
arranged by that method of scientific classification adopted by the
International Botanical Congress which has now superseded all
others, combine to make "Nature's Garden" an indispensable guide.
