A step back in time with a wonderful illustration by Margaretta S. Hinchman.
When children learned the names of flowers from their stories. Verse by Edith Barnes Sturgis. There is no mention of the garden fairy that is in the picture above.
Book Cover. Published in 1908. Large folio Children's book from my collection.
