1852.Entered according to Act of Congress, in the year 1852, BY GEO. H. DERBY & CO. In the Clerk's Office of the District Court of the United States for the Northern District of New York. JEWETT, THOMAS AND CO. Stereotypers and Printers. BUFFALO, N. Y.
THE broad and blooming West, so rich in sylvan adornment, and so prolific in wild flowers of rare odor and unrivaled beauty, is becoming equally noted for the redolent blossoms of genius which prank the hearth of its prairie homes. Each year adds to the number of the latter, which are expanding with wonderful rapidity, and displaying an opulence of foliage almost astonishing. The leaves which they early fling to the winds retain, in many instances, perennial verdure and fragrance, and are too lovely to be trodden under foot in the retreats of rural industry. Such, it appears to us, is the quality of those gathered herein, and presented to the public.
