MORLEY, M.W.
Grasshopper Land.
McClurg. 1.25

Not only the grasshoppers but other family members of the Orthoptera
are here described, including mantes, walking-sticks, katydids, and
crickets. There is a long and interesting account of locusts and their
migrations. The text illustrations are many and satisfactory.

The poetry of earth is never dead:
When all the birds are faint with the hot sun,
And hide in cooling trees, a voice will run
From hedge to hedge about the new-mown mead.
That is the grasshopper's--he takes the lead (p. 188)
In summer luxury--he has never done
With his delights, for when tired out with fun,
He rests at ease beneath some pleasant weed.

PARSONS, F.T. (S.) (formerly MRS. W.S. DANA).
How to Know the Wild Flowers.
Scribner. 2.00

Every flower-lover who has spent weary hours puzzling over a
botanical key in the efforts to name unknown plants will welcome
this satisfactory book, which stands ready to lead him to the
desired knowledge by a royal road. The book is well fitted to the
need of many who have no botanical knowledge and yet are
interested in wild flowers.--_The Nation._

The primary characteristic of this guide to the names, haunts, and
habits, of our common wild flowers is that, in moderate compass, it
groups and describes them under their different colors. This
arrangement was suggested by a passage in one of John Burroughs's
Talks about Flowers. There are indices to the Latin and English names
and to technical terms. The forty-eight full-page colored and one
hundred and ten black and white illustrations are of value.
