source of interest and delight. There is no more beautiful, rich or varied alpine flora in the world than that of the British Empire, and it is the proud boast of Canada that within her Western borders grow the choicest specimens of many mountain wildflowers.
Editorial Note.
The foregoing article by Julia W. Henshaw, author of "Mountain Wild Flowers of Canada," published by William Briggs, of Toronto (price $2.00), was originally written for the "Standard" of Montreal. It is now republished by permission of that paper, with amplifications, for the information of our members.
No visitor to the Canadian Rockies should come without Mrs. Henshaw's book. Written in a most delightful and artistic manner, it furnishes a text that, while appealing to the layman in the simplicity of its language, does not neglect the scientific aspect of the subject. It is designed with the purpose of enabling the traveller to identify the various species seen and it fulfils its mission well.
