Excerpt from The Flora of Essex County, Massachusetts The following enumeration of the plants of Essex County has been prepared, after a careful examination of the work of the earlier botanists and diligent search in almost every portion of the county for species not previously noticed. With so few persons devoting themselves to the study of botany or the collection of specimens, particularly of the lower orders of plants, it would be impossible to present an absolutely complete list, and perhaps with even the greatest facilities no one has succeeded in so doing for any region. Almost the only extended collection of dried specimens of county plants were those of the late Mr. Oakes, so that there really exists no very great foundation upon which to build other than the herbarium recently collected, and the writings of the more reliable among the earlier botanists, who for nearly a century have now and then appeared upon the scene.

Excerpt from A Catalogue of the Flowering Plants and Ferns of Worcester County, Massachusetts IN 1883 I prepared for publication the first Catalogue of the Plants of Worcester County, Massachusetts, containing eight hundred and twelve species and well-marked varieties. In 1894 the second edition, enlarged to ten hundred and ninety-eight species, was issued. In the meantime, by the kind and generous help of many friends, all of whom will understand, I hope, that whether their names appear in these pages or not, my sense of obligation to them is here fully acknowledged and gratefully remembered, more than a bun dred additions have been made. The arrangement and the nomenclature are those of Gray's New Manual of Botany, Seventh Edition, 1908, the book most likely to be used by all persons interested in the study of the local flora here given. In the hope that they may add some interest to certain plants in the catalogue, I have inserted references to a few plants, made by writers of recognized standing in American and English literature. I have not included writers like Thoreau in this country and Jefferies in England, whose writings abound in such references, on the ground that their works are more or less well known to all persons interested in wild flowers found in their respective countries.
