| Publisher Description: Originally published in 1913, the aim is to illustrate and describe every species, from the fern upwards, recognised as distinct by botanists and growing wild within the area adopted, and to complete the work within such moderate limits of size and cost as shall make it accessible to the public generally, so that it may serve as an independent handbook of our Northern Flora and as a work of general reference. This is a fascinating read for any botanist with much of the information still practical and useful today. Many of the earliest books, particularly those dating back to the 1900's and before, are now extremely scarce and increasingly expensive. We are republishing these classic works in affordable, high quality, modern editions, using the original text and artwork. |
