Excerpt from Cyclopedia of Practical Floriculture

Having led the reader into the bowers of nature, what more natural than that many paths should be found leading into the garden of the poets, where rich intellectual blossoms are scattered with an unsparing hand? The love of poetry elevates the soul and makes it more suscep tible to those delicate, spiritual and subtle influences that are found in other souls; it gives it a more rare appreciation of those higher beau ties that are daily seen both in nature and art; it awakens a depth of feeling that almost entirely obliterates selfishness, and opens the heart to generous sympathies and warm impulses. The selections made for this work are numerous, and are the result of a very prolonged and laborious quest. They have been culled from many sources and various authors, foreign and native, and comprehend many of the choicest gems from the works of the best poets of all ages. C. H. T.
