Familiar Flowers of Field and Garden

This delightful guide to wild and cultivated flowers offers poetic descriptions that reveal the proper names of familiar blossoms. Naturalist and artist F. Schuyler Mathews based his accurate and lyrical accounts on observations from his wanderings throughout the New England countryside. Organised by season and illustrated by handsome engravings, his reflections state the flowers’ colour varieties as well as the length of their bloom cycles. AUTHOR: Illustrator and author Ferdinand Schuyler Mathews (1854 1938) was educated at New York’s Cooper Institute and augmented his art education with travels in Italy. His books include Familiar Trees and Their Leaves, The Field Book of American Wild Flowers, and Field Book of Wild Birds and Their Music. 200 b/w illustrations
