Book excerpt: Excerpt from Wild Flowers of the North American Mountains "When the book of life falls open at the page of spring," the snow-crowned mountains rule over an enchanting land of foliage, ferns and fungi, and the alpine meadows are ablaze with bright-hued flowers that grow luxuriantly beneath the broad blue tent of the sky. Held close in the curved arms of the cliffs, the patches of verdure, starred with these wondrous-tinted blossoms, are a revelation to the traveller. From the mountains of the Yukon and Alaska to the hills of Nova Scotia and New England, in the Rockies, the Selkirks and the mountain ranges of Montana, Dakota, Washington, Oregon, California and other States, you will find that the same miracle has been wrought. On the lower levels white-flowered, scarlet-fruited shrubs mingle with the Wintergreens, Larkspurs, Violets and Columbines; flaming Indian Paint Brushes, Gentians, Queen-cups and purple Vetches cover many a slope; here a valley is carpeted with yellow Lilies, Gaillardias, Arnicas and Golden-rods - a glorious Field-of-the-Cloth-of-Gold - and there some mossy plateau is gay with arctic-alpine Androsaces, Stonecrops, Everlastings and the trailing vines of the sweet-scented Northern Twin-flowers; while in the crannies among the rocks Moss Campions, Romanzoflias and Saxifrages find a foothold; and down beside the ice-born streams grow beds of Wild Parsley, Water Willow Herb, Musk Flower, Lobelia and Ladies' Tresses.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Western Flower Guide: Wild Flowers of the Rockies and West to the Pacific The preparation of a Pacific Coast Wild Flower Guide OI tne present small proportions has naturally involved a large exercise Of elimination. The flowers herein illustrated number 250, and the brief descriptions in non-technical language include besides these a few more whose resem blance to certain Of those depicted makes identification relatively easy. The selection Of the subjects has been based mainly upon the hold which such flowers have upon the popular heart on the Pacific Coast, and also to some extent by the part they have played in the human life Of the region. A few introduced plants - not uncommon in other parts Of the world, and some of them even homely - have been included in the descriptions, because their abundance, their uses, or their habits make them subjects Of interest to travelers and the general student. While the region covered in the Guide is principally the three Coast States, California, Oregon, and Washington, in many cases the plants described are also found eastward in the States from Idaho south to Arizona, and in some cases as far east as Colorado, New Mexico, and Texas. Plains and valleys, seaside and mountains, as well as the Southwestern desert region (a marvellously rich floral field for a part Of the year) are represented. While this book has been prepared out Of a personal acquaintance of many years with the field, the author desires to acknowledge his indebtedness to the following works upon which he has had occasion to draw for special descriptions and points - Gray' s Synoptical Flora of North America, Jepson' s Flora Of California (in course of publication), Hall's Compositae of Southern California and Yosemite Flora, Parson's Wild Flowers Of California, Armstrong's Western Wild Flowers, Meehan's Native Flowers and Ferns Of the United States, and the valuable-monographs of Chestnut, Coville, Havard, and Barrows on the Indian uses of native plants.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Field Book of Western Wild Flowers In this little book a very large number of the commoner wild flowers growing in the United States, west of the Rocky Mountains, are pictured and described. It is the first attempt to supply a popular field book for the whole West. The field is vast, including within its limits all sorts of climate and soil, producing thousands of flowers, infinite in variety and wonderful in beauty, their environment often as different as that of Heine's Pine and Palm. In such strange homes as the Grand Canyon and the Petrified Forest of Arizona, or the deserts of Utah and southern California, we find the oddest desert plants, forced to curious expedients in order to sustain life amidst almost perpetual heat and drought, but often displaying blossoms of such brilliance and delicacy that they might well be envied by their more fortunate sisters, flourishing beside shady waterfalls, in a "happy valley" like Yosemite, or a splendid mountain garden, such as spreads in many-colored parterres of bloom around the feet of Mt. Rainier. On the wind-swept plains hundreds of flowers are to be found; many kinds of hardy plants brighten the salty margins of the sea cliffs, or bloom, at the edge of the snow on rocky mountain peaks, while;quantities of humble, everyday flowers border our country roadsides or tint the hills and meadows with lavish color. The field includes the States of Washington, Oregon, California, Idaho, Nevada, Utah and Arizona and to designate this whole field the term West is used in this book. The term Northwest designates Washington, Oregon, northern Idaho, and northern California, and the term Southwest covers southern California and Arizona. The flowers found only in the Rocky Mountains are not included, and it may be noted here that exceedingly few of the western flowers cross the Rockies and are found in the East.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Rocky Mountain Wild Flowers, 1930 In catering to the public through the medium of this catalog, we Wish to say it is our earnest desire to be worthy of the confidence of every patron, that every order, regardless of how small or how large, will be filled with the most scrupulous care with the best quality and size of varieties, and true to name. All flower lovers should appreciate the opportunity they now have of becoming familiar with the beautiful wild flowers of the Rocky Mountain region. There is no practical reason why many of our most beautiful wild flowers should not be much in evidence in cultivated gardens, combining as they do, ease of culture with an airiness and grace, and beautiful soft, re fined colors, which places them in a class entirely by them selves. We endeavor to give sufficient cultural instructions to make success reasonably certain, and if followed, our patrons will experience no difficulty in attaining satisfactory results.

For 1889 N presenting my Twelfth Annual Catalogue of North American Wild Flowers, I feel confident that it will be received by many patrons and friends with pleasure. 'i wish to say to those who are unacquainted with our Wild Flowers, that their nature can be easily learned from Gray's or W'ood's Botany of the Northern United States, or Chapman's Flora of the Southern States. They give the color, height of plant, time of flowering, situation where found, and in fact all about them. The increasing interest among flower lovers of all nations is very marked for these American plants. We have such a variety of soil and climate that a large share of the natural orders are here represented.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from American Wild Flowers in Their Native Haunts The botanical and local descriptions accompanying the plates, have been furnished by the artist, Mr. E. Whitefield. The verses, begin ning She sleeps. Inserted in Love beyond the Grave, were presented for publication by a friend. With these exceptions, the author is alone responsible for every thing in the volume which has not the name of its writer affixed. To the friends who have assisted her in this undertaking, she would fain offer her heart-warm thanks. Of the high value of their aid, every intelligent reader can judge, but of the spontaneous kind ness with which that aid was afforded, this is not the place to speak, since it would be invading the rights and encroaching upon the privi leges of that friendship which claims to belong to social, even more than to literary life. It is only necessary to add that every thing contained in the volume was written expressly for it, with the exception of a few short poems, selected from the author's early writings, which after appearing under other Signatures, are now for the first time claimed.
