Talks About Flowers
Mary Decker Wellcome
Lu par LibriVox Volunteers
To all Flower Lovers who may read these pages, we come with kindly greetings. To you we dedicate our Work. Encouraged by the many testimonials of favor with which our Flower Sketches have been received, which have appeared in the Boston Journal, Portland Transcript, and the leading Floricultural journals, we were induced to prepare this volume,..As it is, we are sure that we have given you a great amount of valuable information, and just such as amateurs need, respecting the habits and requirements of those flowers which are best adapted for general cultivation, and in a form specially new and attractive, combining the history and literature of flowers, with description and mode of culture. - Summary by Mrs. Mary D. Wellcome (5 hr 25 min)

Thank you (:
Happy Hello
I was so pleased to hear this message, and I enjoyed the 'accent' of the reader. Brought me back decades, when I had dear friends from India.
