💎 The Book of Wild Flowers - National Geographic Society (Second Edition, 1933)

The volume contains biographies of 250 representative wild flowers and grasses, together with chapters on plant life, American state flowers and familiar grasses. Its greatest distinction lies in the magnificent 250 colour plates, many illustrated by renowned botanical artist Mary E. Eaton, whose work remains highly regarded for its accuracy and artistic quality.

The beautifully printed colour plates make this volume as attractive to collectors of botanical books as to readers with an interest in wild flowers and natural history.
