Prefatory Comment;
As to my own efforts in behalf of the flowers, I desire to state that not through the study of botany or the love of science have I taken up this work, but because of a deals sincere and abiding affection for these divine messengers. The flowers of God's planting, growing in his natural gardens, represent the fullness and perfection of his love. Born and raised on a Town farm, I early learned where and when the wild flowers grew and blossomed. During my entire life it has been my happy privilege to be closely associated with the out-door world. ...

Thank you for looking.
