By EDITH DUNHAM Fifty Flower Friends With Familiar Faces A FIELD BOOK FOR BOYS AND GIRLS With twelve full-page colored plates, decorations and fifty text illustrations from nature by W. I. BEECROFT. Children cannot too soon begin to know the wild flowers, and here they are told in a charming way where and when to look for each of fifty widely distributed common flowering plants; also how they get their names, and how to know them from the remarkably accurate drawings of Mr. Beecroft, a skilled botanist and superior artist. Each of the fifty flowers has a page of accurate botanical description in addition to its story. Thus the book is suited for varying ages.
