Excerpt from Wild Flower Families: The Haunts, Characters, and Family Relationships of the Herbaceous Wild Flowers With Suggestions for Their Identification In this little book I have attempted to bring into easily available form a discussion of a large proportion of the more widely distributed herbaceous wild flowers, which should so combine suggestions for observations in the schoolroom and out of doors that it would make the study of the wild flowers of real interest both to teacher and pupils. It is assumed throughout that the pupils shall have an opportunity for a constructive reproduction of their images of the flowers through drawings, written exercises and pressed specimens or photographic prints, which are to be bound into booklets that shall become the personal property of the pupils. While the arrangement of the various species is that of a grouping into families these families are placed in the sequence of the blossoming of the more important members, so that the season of flowering may be followed in a general way.
