This work contains thorough descriptions of each wild flower, as well as their habitats and uses in medicine. Each series with 160 pages, however, the last series has an extra 8 pages of ‘Index of English Names’, ‘Index of Botanical Names’, Table of Botanical’, and ‘Orders and General Represented in the Work’.Each series has 40 colour plates printed on thick papers, more like finished paintings than prints. Several black and white in-text illustrations. Illustrated capital letter to each chapter head.

In 1870 he was appointed art and drawing master at Marlborough College, which was around the time he published Familiar Wild Flowers, his best known work. Familiar Garden Flowers was published later in his career, and the plates reveal the same level of skill and beauty exhibited in his earlier works."
