The Bird and the Burdock. Who is there who has never heard, About the Burdock and the Bird? And yet how very very few, Discriminate between the two, While even Mr. Burbank can't Transform a Bird into a Plant! The Clover. The Plover. The Plover and the Clover can be told apart with ease, By paying close attention to the habits of the Bees, For en-to-molo-gists aver, the Bee can be in Clover, While ety-molo-gists concur, there is no B in Plover. The Crow. The Crocus. Some are unable, as you know, To tell the Crocus from the Crow; The reason why is just because They are not versed in Nature's laws. The noisy, cawing Crows all come, Obedient to the Cro'custom, A large Crow Caw-cus to convoke. You never hear the Crocus croak! The Rue. The Rooster. Of Rooster the rudiment clearly is "Roo," And the bird from the plant very probably grew. You can easily tell them apart without fail, By merely observing the Rue lacks de-tail. The Parrot. The Carrot. We are delighted to publish this classic book as part of our extensive Classic Library collection.

Book excerpt: From the Intro-Duc-Tion By other Nature books I'm sure, You've often been misled, You've tried a wall-flower to secure. And picked a hen instead: You've wondered what the egg-plants lay, And why the chestnuts burred, And if the hop-vine hops away, It's perfectly absurd. I hence submit for your inspection. This very neiw and choice collection. Of flowers on Stork and Phlox of birds. With some explanatory words. Not everyone is always able To recognize a vegetable, For some are guided by tradition, While others use their intuition, And even I make no pretense Of having more than common sense. Indeed these strange homologies Are in most flornithologies, And I have freely draw upon The works of Gray and Audubon, Avoiding though the frequent blunders Of those who study Nature's wonders.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "In a series of clever nonsense verses, the author gives directions by which any one can distinguish the bird from the flower that sounds like it." -New York Times "Obviously a satire directed against the sentimental nature-study literature which sometimes masquerades as scientific teaching, particularly in the United States." -Nature "Professor Robert W. Wood, of Johns Hopkins University, author of an advanced treatise on the theory of light and various scientific papers, such as the 'Fluorescence and Magnetic Rotation Spectra of Sodium Vapor and Their Analysis,' might claim close affinity to Lewis Carroll, the profound mathematician and creator of the inimitable 'Alice in Wonderland.' Nature students who have hitherto wrestled with the annoying problem of differentiating between such homologous species as the crow and the crocus, the parrot and the carrot, the cow-bird and the cowslip, the blue mountain glory and the blue morning glory, will hail this little volume with shouts of joy. No longer need one worry over the close resemblance of the pecan to the toucan." -The Publisher
