How many who have tried to teach l)otany to the little folks have stum- bled over the harsh unsympathetic Lessons on the ordi- nary flowers, even, have often been ren- dered too difficult — much less could one attempt anything like a Flora. 15ut here a comi)lete Flora is given without a hard unscientific term. The common name so dear to children — and to adults, too, for the mat- ter of that — are good enough. For the first time this suliject is presented so that it becomes, as it should bo, a veritable Fairyland for the little ones. Hundreds of illustrations of flowers —so necessary yet so scarce in most botanies — adorn its pai^es, wliile the charm of Miss Pratt's inimitable style is thrown over all. The pretty poems, legends and stories connected with the child- ren's favorite (lowers also find their place within its covers. It's a handsome (|iiarto book, one you and your pnpils will treasure at home, as ?well as in the school.
