Publisher's Synopsis
The Floral Poetry, composing the greater part of this book, has been selected with a view to the diversified tastes of those who may peruse it, and consequently a variety of styles will be found in the pieces. It is hoped, however, that most readers will not only light here upon old friends, but also make the acquaintance, for the first time, of poems and fragments that will give pleasure whenever recalled.The First Part contains "Poems on Flowers Generally," and in the Second Part will be found "Poems on Special Flowers," arranged in the alphabetical order of their names to facilitate reference.The two Indexes of the Language of Flowers have been made most full and complete, and the Months of flowering being introduced, it is hoped they will meet the wants of those using them.Originally printed in London in 1877, now reprinted to its original design.
