Published by the University of Minnesota Press in 1941, this unusual botanical volume combines flower family histories written by Helen Field Fischer with decorative portraits by Gretchen Fischer-Harshbarger, a landscape architect and horticulture illustrator.

Fischer organized flowering plants into family groupings and wrote biographical profiles of each, making botany accessible to home gardeners via metaphor.

Illustrated portraits of flower families throughout by Gretchen Fischer-Harshbarger.
