Preface
This book is not intended for the expert botanist. He should consult one of the regular Manuals which give full descriptions of each species of plant.
Neither is it intended for the merely curious. Only those who have sufficient interest in a plant to observe it can find its name by this book.
Furthermore, it is not a textbook. It does not attempt to convey botanical information, but offers merely an opportunity to learn the names of plants.
Its mission is fully accomplished if, through its use, students, vacationists, and plant-lovers in general are able to recognize by name the plants about them.
