Wild Flowers Worth Knowing

by Neltje Blanchan

"Wild Flowers Worth Knowing" by Neltje Blanchan is a nature guide published in 1917. Adapted from Blanchan's earlier work, this volume presents North American wildflowers organized by plant family rather than color. Featuring over 40 color illustrations and simplified descriptions, it offers an accessible introduction to botanical identification. Part of the Little Nature Library series, the book provides what contemporary reviewers called "chatty and entertaining" accounts of wildflowers, though it assumes readers can recognize basic plant families.
