Excerpt from A Treasury of Flower Stories

Once upon a time a great poet, walking down along the margin of a bay, saw before him ten thousand daffodils tossing their heads in a sprightly dance, which fairly outdid the sparkling waves in glee. And so pleasant was their golden host that ever afterward as the poet treasured them in his memory his heart danced with the daffodils, and at length he wove them into a beautiful poem and gave to the world a picture which will last for aye.

Just so have other flowers whispered to their friends and lovers the most wondrous stories and marvelous fables, until, to-day, it has been pos sible for the author to gather this treasury OF flowers. And surely no more interesting or delightful treasury could be found anywhere! Straight from the Fairyland Of Fancy come the myths and fables, sandwiched in with all sorts of dower-lore, dependable information, and the doings of fairies, genii, and pixies.
