Download or read book The Wild Flower Book written by Alice Lounsberry and published by . This book was released on 2015-08-06 with total page 490 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Wild Flower Book: For Young People The little girl who tells this story goes from the city to live in the country with her grandmother. There, through the spring, summer, and the cool, crisp autumn, she roams through woods, meadows and swamps, and sees many things that pique her curiosity. Most often it is the wild flowers she wishes to know about; although she notices the birds, the trees, and even a bullfrog. She sees that the sky changes, and wonders why the dewdrops cling so long to blades of grass. In her own way this little girl writes about these things, using neither botanical terms nor difficult words. The flowers she finds are the ones common throughout the northeastern States of her country, where hundreds of them bloom every year near large cities. Now, however, the rarer flowers are moving to places far away from men's dwellings, because they have been picked so much by those who think little of their preservation. She learns that wild flowers have tender feelings, and that they resent cruel treatment, even though they cannot complain in the language of children.

Download or read book Nantucket Wild Flowers Classic Reprint written by Alice O. Albertson and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-01 with total page 512 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Nantucket Wild Flowers This book attempts to be a companion for any one who desires to be more intimate with the wild flowers on Nantucket. Undeniably, the natural setting of the island's wild flowers casts an abiding spell, most deeply felt on "the Commons" (the heathland), where the majority of the wild flowers grow. This allurement may be born of vast and open spaces, where an air of elusive mystery, under the magnifying influence of a salt atmosphere, hangs about the low and rolling hills. Or it may be due to a vicarious joy in the triumph of flowers that have to fight for existence. Yet the very elements that make the fight necessary - salt winds and unhampered sunshine - are known to be influences also in creating intensity of colour in flowers and grasses. And beauty of colouring is, unquestionably, one of the strongest bonds between the Commons and us. Even in winter colour is by no means lacking. The lustrous Mealy-plum Vine carpets all the dry ground, and "Evergreen" bushes are abundant in the swamps. Later, the Commons in certain places arc covered with Mayflowers or the eye rests on an endless carpet of the Barren Heath (Hudsonia), dazzlingly yellow, or "Over hill, over dale, Thorough bush, thorough brier," are flaunted the most brilliant crimsons and yellows and purples. A veiling haze and changing lights save this profuseness of colour from barbaric crudity, softening outlines and colours. Still another factor in making Nantucket a happy hunting-ground for those interested in flowers is the geographical location. As Prof. Asa Gray once declared, nothing is a surprise from Nantucket.

Download or read book The Flower of the Wilderness Classic Reprint written by J. T. B. Wollaston and published by . This book was released on 2015-08-04 with total page 120 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Flower of the Wilderness When the Author first meditated the printing of this little volume, it was his intention to circulate it in his own immediate neighbourhood; but friends, whose opinions he highly values, having urged him to submit it for the perusal of the reading public, he has been induced to comply with their wishes, though fearful that the work has no claim to public patronage. Should this unfortunately be the opinion of those who may run their eye over the following pages, the extreme youth of the Author (his seventeenth birth-day having just passed) will, it is hoped, be allowed to plead his apology for the paucity of its merits, and the plenitude of its faults. To those who have so kindly assisted in this, the Author's first publication, he gratefully tenders his sincere thanks, and trusts that on some future occasion he may have it in his power to present them with something more worthy of their consideration and esteem.

This book was released on 2018-02-14 with total page 198 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from National Flower Show of the Society of American Florists and Ornamental Horticulturalists When the Pilgrim Fathers landed on the bleak, barren shores of New England they found very little in the way of native flowers. They had brought with them a few seeds of Dianthus and other common garden flowers and when these seeds had produced bloom the Pilgrims gazed upon the entire cultivated floral wealth of America. Among the earliest records of the cultivation of flowers in America, are the accounts of the voyages made in 16 38 and 166 3 by John Josselyn. In these accounts Mr. Josselyn made special mention of the successful cultivation in America of Hollyhocks, Gilly Flowers, Sweet Briars and English Roses. From this humble beginning, Floriculture and Ornamental Horticulture have made most marvelous strides, and now in 1916 the United States far sur passes any other country ih the total production of glass-grown flowers. This rapid growth has so increased the supply of Decorative Plants, such as Palms, Ferns, etc., that the best of them are Within the reach of people of moderate means. This rapid growth could not have been possible without the stimulus and organized work of Horticultural Societies.

The herds have abandoned their flocks beloved, The wise'men have journeyed from'distant parts, TO proffer their incense, gold, and myrrh, Whilst we have naught but our sin-stained hearts. Oh, these sin-stained hearts! We pause in distress; Our hope'and joy for a while are chilled'; But anon we picture the Babe's sweet eyes Our courage revives, our fears are stilled. For the heart that is sad with remembered sin, The heart that is weary and sore oppressed, Or the poor heart crushed with some untold pain, May be just the heart that the Child loves best. Anon we will pass through the cold, drear night TO the stable blest, our homage to pay, And there will we kneel at the manger's side, In a thrill of delight, till the dawn Of day.

Download or read book The Burgess Flower Book for Children Classic Reprint written by Thornton Waldo Burgess and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-11-15 with total page 468 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Burgess Flower Book for Children Because of the story method of treatment, and also because of the limited vocabulary of the little child, the use of scientific names and even the names of most Of the parts of plants and flowers, save in the appendix for older people, has been avoided. This necessarily prevents that accuracy of description which the adult may desire. The vast number of flowers, which is America's rich heritage, makes it impossible to describe within the confines of a volume of this size more than a limited number. NO small part of the task was the selection of theflowers to be included. Most of them were chosen because of their wide distribution. For the most part, only the commoner flowers, those most likely to be encountered in walks in field, meadow and woodland, have been chosen. A few of the rarer ones have been included because of their beauty, and the hope that the desire to find these may act as a stimulant to interest.

Download or read book Trees and Flowers of Yellowstone National Park Classic Reprint written by Frank E. A. Thone and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-10-22 with total page 80 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Trees and Flowers of Yellowstone National Park In this book, technical terms and treatment have been avoided whenever possible. For the most part the genus is the smallest group considered, as the average visitor is not interested in fine distinctions among species; and even if he were he would get small comfort from the professional botanists, who are too often in hopeless disagreement among them selves. For those who are interested in more exact determinations, there is no substitute for the complete floras of Coulter ah-d Nelson and of Rydberg, covering the whole Rocky Mountain region. Mention must also be made of Rocky Mountain Flowers, by Clements and Clements, a work combining a high degree of scientific accuracy with adaptability for popular use, and illustrated with finely colored plates. N o artificial key has been included in this work, for it has been the writer's experience that these are rarely, if ever, used by the layman. The usual prae tice is to turn the leaves of the book until a picture is found that corresponds with the flower under ex amination. The plants are grouped according to their growth form, as trees, shrubs ah-d herbs, but beyond that they are left in approximately the same order in which their family affinities place them. This sets flowers of similar form and evolutionary history together, and has at least the virtue of being a natural arrange ment.
