Rare book.
Here is a book perfectly combining poetry and botany which could be summed up by "say it with flowers". After reading this little book more excuses for not pleasing the ladies: if you get sent to the roses after offering your bouquet, it is because you have not paid enough attention to the lessons given in it.
In good condition.
