{"product_id":"2940016741307","title":"Field and Woodland Plants by William S. Furneaux","description":"This additional volume to the young naturalist's 'Outdoor World Series' is an attempt to provide a guide to the study of our wild plants, shrubs and trees—a guide which, though comparatively free from technical terms and expressions, shall yet be strictly correct and scientific.\u003cbr\u003eThe leading feature of the book is the arrangement of the plants and trees according to their seasons, habitats and habits; an arrangement which will undoubtedly be of the greatest assistance to the lover of wild flowers during his work in the field, and also while examining and identifying his gathered specimens at home.\u003cbr\u003eA large portion of the space has necessarily been allotted to the descriptions of plants, several hundreds of which have been included, and a large proportion of these illustrated; but not a little has been devoted to an attempt to create an interest in some of those wonderful habits which lead us to look upon plants as living beings with attractions even more engrossing than their beautiful forms and colours.\u003cbr\u003eIt has been thought advisable to give but little attention to aquatic plants and to the flowers which are to be found only on the coast, these having been previously included in former volumes of this series dealing, respectively, with pond life and the sea shore.\u003cbr\u003eThe thanks of the author are due to his friend, G. Du Heaume, Esq., for his valuable assistance in collecting many of the flowers required for description and illustration.\u003cbr\u003eCONTENTS\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eI.Introduction--General Character of Plants and the Identification of Flowers\u003cbr\u003eII.The Pollination and Fertilisation of Flowers\u003cbr\u003eIII.Climbing Plants\u003cbr\u003eIV.Early Spring\u003cbr\u003eV.Woods and Thickets in Spring\u003cbr\u003eVI.The Spring-Flowering Trees and Shrubs of Woods, Thickets, and Hedgerows\u003cbr\u003eVII.Waysides and Wastes in Spring\u003cbr\u003eVIII.Meadows, Fields, and Pastures--Spring\u003cbr\u003eIX.Bogs, Marshes, and Wet Places in Spring\u003cbr\u003eX.Woods and Thickets in Summer\u003cbr\u003eXI.Wastes and Waysides in Summer\u003cbr\u003eXII.Wastes and Waysides in Summer--Composite Flowers\u003cbr\u003eXIII.Wastes and Waysides in Summer--continued\u003cbr\u003eXIV.Meadows,Fields,and Pastures--Summer\u003cbr\u003eXV.Bogs, Marshes, and Wet Places--Summer\u003cbr\u003eXVI.On Heath, Down, and Moor\u003cbr\u003eXVII.In the Corn Field\u003cbr\u003eXVIII.On the Chalk\u003cbr\u003eXIX.By the River Side\u003cbr\u003eXX.On Walls, Rocks,and Stony Places\u003cbr\u003eXXI.Field and Wayside in Autumn\u003cbr\u003eXXII.Autumn in the Woods\u003cbr\u003eXXIII.Parasitic Plants\u003cbr\u003eXXIV.Carnivorous Plants","brand":"Unforgotten Classics","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47074518728944,"sku":"2940016741307","price":2.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940016741307_p0.jpg?v=1763640552","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940016741307","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
