Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.

Excerpt from The Cardinal Flower: And Other TalesHave you seen the scarlet flower called the cardinal flower? If you have not, you have not seen the most brilliant wild flower which is found in the Northern States. It commonly grows in meadows by the water courses, and lifts its brilliant head above the grass: even its growth is most luxu riant.A small brook ran through Mr. Marston's meadow. In some places its banks were fringed with the cardinal flower, which is in full bloom just about mowing-time.Little Henry went with his father to the meadow, to see him and his workmen mow. He followed the mowers, taking care to keep out of the way, and watched the tall grass as it fell prostrate before the regular, time-keeping strokes of the scythe.By and by he grew weary of this, and asked his father if there was not something he could do. His father told him that, as soon as the dew was ofl', he might spread the mown grass evenly over the ground, that it might be dried into hay; so he got the pitchfork, and waited impatiently for the time to come. He then found that the pitchfork was too heavy a tool for him to work with indeed, the handle was so large that he could hardly grasp it with his little fingers sufficiently to hold it. He began to cry.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
