Miss Casey’s attractive little book is a welcome addition to the literature concerning the wild flowers of Texas and adjoining regions. It does not pretend to include all, or even the most common, flowers of any particular region. Nor are all the species discussed found native in Texas. But the book will be very helpful to teachers, gardeners, tourists, and amateur botanists of the area. Black-and-white photographs of over 100 species are given and these should be very helpful in making identifications. The descriptions are non-technical but are also useful in identifying common plants. Interesting stories and “side-lights” make the book most readable and provide material useful in developing in young people a real love of Nature. The author’s own love of Nature is reflected in the pages of the book and it is to be regretted that her untimely death in 1958 came before her book was published. There are often hints of an ecological nature that should prove of practical value for gardeners who try to grow the plants.
