Much has already been written on the folk-lore of plants, a fact which has induced me to give, in the present volume, a brief systematic summary — with a few illustrations in each case — of the many branches into which the subject naturally subdivides itself. It is hoped, therefore, that this little work will serve as a useful handbook for those desirous of gaining some information, in a brief concise form, of the folk-lore which, in one form or another, has clustered round the vegetable kingdom.
