Book excerpt: Excerpt from Popular Studies of California Wild Flowers White Mountain Lilies By Bertha Marguerite Rice White lilies growing on the mountain side, In your loved forms I see A sacred symbol of the Christ who died, The Christ who lives for me. O tall, straight mountain lilies, sweet and fair. Your incense waft above. Your tender greetings softly heavenward bear To the dear Christ I love. O Lilies! fair and pure and sweet and white, Thoughts of the Crucified, I read a message in your souls of light, His love, who for me died. Within your hearts no stain of earth doth hide, Though from the earth you spring, Then let not earths taint in my soul abide, Though still to earth I cling. O radiant lilies! blooming for the Christ, Type of His purity; O fragrant lilies! incense offering souls, Waft prayerful thoughts for me. Oh, may my heart from selfish aims be free, Filled with His love divine, To feel, to know, to have his purity, Christ's cause on earth be mine!

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.

Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1920 edition. Excerpt: ... The Washington Lily The.literature of the ages knew nothing of the Washington Lily of California. Today it ranks among the most beautiful of the world's lilies. No other flower has so many religious associations as the Lily. It stands for purity and majesty. Almost every poet from Homer to Tennyson has sung its praises; none more so than Julia Ward Howe, in her "Battle Hymn of the Republic." "In the beauty of the lilies, Christ was born across the sea, With the glory in His bosom that transfigures you and me; As He died to make men holy, let us die to make men free, While God is marching on." The Washington Lily By Bertha M. Rice Our beautiful, fragrant mountain lily, Lilium washing tonianum; must be, I think, the most beautiful of all our Western lilies. It is said to be the only pure white American lily. In all this world there could hardly be a sweeter, fairer flower. There is something singularly impressive about the tall, straight plant, with its handsome whorls of polished, wavy-margined, dark green leaves and its smooth, stout, purple stem, crowned with a radiance of glistening white blossoms. The whole attitude of the plant is one of quiet dignity and grace. A feeling of reverence must fill the heart when one is permitted to gaze upon its perfect flowers. Never shall I forget the sudden joy which took possession of my soul when my first Easter Lilies unfurled their fragrant chalices of light. They furnished the subject, I believe, of almost my only accepted and published poem; and the thoughts of those sweet blossoms have remained with me throughout my whole life, a sacred, and fragrant memory. Since then, I have found this white moun-j tain lily even more impressively beautiful. In our heavenly Father's gardens are blossoms...

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 owers 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 owers 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 oral 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 Mountain Wild Flowers of America: A Simple and Popular Guide to the Names and Descriptions of the Flowers That Bloom Above the Clouds "When the book of life falls open at the page of spring," who does not long to enter the kingdom of Nature and wander therein, with bright-hued flowers abloom about his feet and the silent, scintillating peaks standing circlewise above his head? High up where the snow-crowned mountain monarchs rule over an enchanting land of foliage, ferns, and fungi, outspanned in sunshine beneath the broad blue tent of the western sky, the alpine meadows are ablaze with starry blossoms. Held close in the curved arms of the cliffs, these patches of verdure and wondrous-tinted flowers 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 vast mountain ranges of Montana, Dakota, Washington, Oregon, California, and other western states, one will find that the same miracle has been wrought. On the lower levels, white-flowered, scarlet-fruited shrubs stretch out long branches, weighted with clustered loveliness, across the tiny ribbon-like trails that man has cut deep into the heart of the primeval forest. Over the valleys the water ways have spread an emerald tide of verdure, set with islands of flaming Painted-cups, blue Gentians, and purple Vetches; while higher up the slopes of the mountains are carpeted with myriads of yellow Lilies, Gaillardias, and Arnicas, - a glorious Field of the Cloth of Gold.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from New England Wild Flowers and Their Seasons The kindly reception given my Among Rhode Island Wild Flowers has led me, perhaps too rashly, to venture once more afield. In enlarging the scope of the work to include New England, my purpose has never been to mention all, or even a large part, of the owers of this region. I have collected, rather, the notes of many wander ings by hill and dale, on the sea-shore, or on the mountains, and these stand very much as originally written. It is hoped that they will thus seem fresher and more life-like than if worked up anew. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
