Description:Excerpt from The Wayside Flowers of A Study of the Conspicuous Herbaceous Plants Blooming Upon Our Northern Roadsides During the Months of July and AugustIf it adds to the summer pleasure even Of a few, it will have served its purpose.In early July the fields that border the roads are a joy and a delight. The grass. Is just ready for the harvest, the fields Of wheat ripple and wave and yield to the passing breeze, and color other than green is seen in the distance.When a delicate mist Of white with a pinkish cast hangs over a meadow, it means that the Fleabane, a blossom that looks like an attenuated White Aster, has taken possession. If the white is more opaque, it indicates the presence Of the ox-eye Daisy, a plant loved by artists but not by farmers. A yellow field may be one Of a field Of Early Mustard or, as is more likely, a field Of Buttercups, beautiful to look at, but whose presence convicts the farmer. There are many fields Of Red Clover, sweet with the music Of bees; more rarely in certain elect places one finds fields Of Alsike Clover, pink and white; everywhere along the way the White Clover is in bloom and now the Yellow Clover, having the yellow Of the Mustard, and the poise Of the Clover, runs along the sterile places and climbs the sandy slopes Of the roadside.The Docks having established themselves by sheer strength are sending up their ﬂowering spikes, green at first, but soon to be golden brown, the outward and visible Sign Of an inward vitality rare to see and difficult to overcome. The wild Lettuce, the Mullein, the Chicory, with many others, having left their rosettes behind them, are stretching up and looking out over the world to see what there 18 to conquer.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
