"William Briggs prepared a numbered fourth edition of 'Canadian Wild Flowers' in Toronto, 1895. Agnes painted more plates, printed from the 1869 stones, which she had stored in Ottawa. Following typical Briggs practices, she paid for the letterpress and accepted a commission on books the firm sold. The title-plate assigns copyright to 'Agnes Chamberlin, Lakefield, Ontario' ... About 121 copies were sold, most signed 1895 on a maroon limitation page."--Alexander Globe, "The Story of 'Canadian Wildflowers'" (2015)

This volume presents a detailed description of more than thirty-five wildflower species of the Northeast, describing their colors, habitats, range, pollination, history, cultural lore, medicinal uses, and literary and artistic references. The spring-blooming wildflowers looked at range from old favorites to lesser-known species. Featuring more than 500 full-color photos in large-sized format, the book delves deep into the life histories, lore, and cultural uses of more than 35 plant species. The narrative covers topics such as the naming of wildflowers; the reasons for taxonomic changes; pollination of flowers and dispersal of seeds; uses by Native Americans; related species in other parts of the world; herbivores, plant pathogens, and pests; medicinal uses; and wildflower references in history, literature, and art. The photos capture the beauty of these plants and also illustrate the concepts discussed in the text.
