*THE WILD FLOWERS OF THE NORTHEASTERN STATES.*

WHITING (MARGARET C.) and MILLER (ELLEN). Drawn and carefully described from life, without undue use of scientific nomenclature. Quarto, cloth. (In preparation.)

This work presents upwards of 300 drawings of American wild flowers, and careful descriptions of the flowers so depicted. The selection of flowers has been made with a view to presenting the most typical individuals of each family. In every case great care has been taken to depict the peculiar traits, the average size, and all the details of each individual plant. The drawings are for the most part the size of the flowers themselves, and the descriptions are so simple and direct that it is believed that even the amateur will find no difficulty in verifying specimens with the aid of the book.
