Excerpt from Wild Flowers of the North-Eastern States: Being Three Hundred and Eight Individuals Common to the North-Eastern United States IT was with no desire to compete with scientific botanies that this collection of owers was gathered together, but with the hope of making their acquaintance more easy to non-scientific folk than the much condensed manuals of our ora are able to do. The Oppor tunity of introducing a plant, with that graceful amplitude which fore. Stalls human meetings, is denied to the scientific botanist by the needful restrictions of his formulae, and there remain unnoted by him (because beyond the scope of a special terminology) numberless traits of race habit, and personal details of growth belonging to the plants, to which the unlearned observer will attach a degree of significance, incommen surate, perhaps, to their scientific value. To the simple Nature-lover each growth possesses a personal quality more desirable than the cata logued facts of its existence, and which offers an invitation to his thought beyond the knowledge he may gain from books.
