+Intro-duc-tion.
+
+[Illustration]
+
+
+ By other Nature books I'm sure,
+ You've often been misled,
+ You've tried a wall-flower to secure.
+ And "picked a hen" instead:
+ You've wondered what the egg-plants lay,
+ And why the chestnut's burred,
+ And if the hop-vine hops away,
+ It's perfectly absurd.
+ I hence submit for your inspection,
+ This very new and choice collection,
+ Of flowers on Storks, and Phlox of birds,
+ With some explanatory words.
+ Not every one is always able
+ To recognize a vegetable,
+
+ For some are guided by tradition,
+ While others use their intuition,
+ And even I make no pretense
+ Of having more than common sense.
+ Indeed these strange homologies
+ Are in most flornithologies,
+ And I have freely drawn upon
+ The works of Gray and Audubon,
+ Avoiding though the frequent blunders
+ Of those who study Nature's wonders.
+
+[Illustration]
+
+
+
+
+Burr. Bird.
+
+[Illustration: Burr. Bird.]
+
+
+ Who _is_ there who has never heard,
+ About the Burdock and the Bird?
+ And yet how very very few,
+ Discriminate between the two,
+ While even Mr. Burbank can't,
+ Transform a Bird into a Plant.
+
+[Illustration: Burbank.]
+
+
+
+
+The Crow. The Crocus.
+
+[Illustration: The Crow. The Crocus.]
+
+
+ Some are unable, as you know,
+ To tell the Crocus from the Crow;
+ The reason why is just be-caws
+ They are not versed in Nature's laws.
+ The noisy cawing Crows all come,
+ Obedient to the Cro'custom,
+ A large Crow Caw-cus to convoke.
+ You never hear the Crocus croak!
+
+
+
+
+The Clover. The Plover.
+
+[Illustration: The Clover. The Plover.]
+
+
+ The Plover and the Clover can be told apart with ease,
+ By paying close attention to the habits of the Bees,
+ For En-to-molo-gists aver, the Bee can be in Clover,
+ While Ety-molo-gists concur, there is no B in Plover.
+
+
+
+
+The Ole Gander. The Oleander.
+
+[Illustration: The Ole Gander. The Oleander.]
+
+
+ The Gander loves to promenade,
+ Around the farmer's poultry yard,
+ While as we see, the Oleander
+ Is quite unable to meander:
+ The Gardener tied it up indeed,
+ Fearing that it might run to seed.
+
+
+
+
+The Hen. The Lichen.
+
+[Illustration: The Hen. The Lichen.]
+
+
+ Lichens, regardless of conventions,
+ Exist in only two dimensions,
+ A life restricted to a plane,
+ On rocks and stones a greenish stain,
+ They live upon the simplest fare,
+ A drop of dew, a breath of air.
+ Contrast them with the greedy Hen,
+ And her most careless regimen,
+ She shuns the barren stones and rocks,
+ And thrives upon the garbage box.
+
+
+
+
+The Pelican. The Panicle.
+
+[Illustration: The Pelican. The Panicle.]
+
+
+ The Panicle and Pelican have often been confused,
+ The letters which spell Pelican, in Panicle are used.
+ If you recognize this Anagram you'll never go astray,
+ Or make the careless blunder that was made by Mr. Gray.
+
+
+
+
+The Pea. The Pewee.
+
+[Illustration: The Pea. The Pewee.]
+
+
+ To tell the Pewee from the Pea,
+ Requires great per-spi-ca-city.
+ Here in the pod we see the Pea,
+ While perched close by is the Pewee;
+ The Pea he hears the Pewee peep,
+ While Pewee sees the wee Pea weep,
+ There'll be but little time to see,
+ How Pewee differs from the Pea.
+
+
+
+
+The Parrot. The Carrot.
+
+[Illustration: The Parrot. The Carrot.]
+
+
+ The Parrot and the Carrot one may easily confound,
+ They're very much alike in looks and similar in sound,
+ We recognize the Parrot by his clear articulation,
+ For Carrots are unable to engage in conversation.
+
+
+
+
+The Rue. The Rooster.
+
+[Illustration: The Rue. The Rooster.]
+
+
+ When you awake at half-past-two,
+ And hear a "Cock-a-doodle-doo,"
+ No argument need then ensue,
+ It is the Rooster, not the Rue,
+ Which never thus disturbs our dreams,
+ With ruthless rude nocturnal screams.
+ We sleep less soundly than we used ter
+ And love the Rue but rue the Rooster.
+
+
+
+
+The Hawk. The Hollyhock.
+
+[Illustration: The Hawk. The Hollyhock.]
+
+
+ To recognize this bird-of-prey,
+ The broody hen you should survey:
+ She takes her chicks on daily walks,
+ Among the neighboring Hollyhocks,
+ While with the Hawk association,
+ Is quite beyond her toleration.
+
+
+
+
+The Pecan. The Toucan.
+
+[Illustration: The Pecan. The Toucan.]
+
+
+ Very few can
+ Tell the Toucan
+ From the Pecan--
+ Here's a new plan:
+ To take the Toucan from the tree,
+ Requires im-mense a-gil-i-tee,
+ While anyone can pick with ease
+ The Pecans from the Pecan trees.
+ It's such an easy thing to do,
+ That even the Toucan he can too.
+
+
+
+
+The Cat-bird. The Cat-nip.
+
+[Illustration: The Cat-bird. The Cat-nip.]
+
+
+ The Cat-bird's call resembles that
+ Emitted by the Pussy Cat,
+ While Cat-nip growing by the wall,
+ Is never known to caterwaul:
+ It's odor though attracts the Kits,
+ And throws them in Cat-nip-tion fits.
+
+[Illustration]
+
+
+
+
+The Quail. The Kale.
+
+[Illustration: The Quail. The Kale.]
+
+
+ The California Quail is said
+ To have a tail upon his head,
+ While contrary-wise we style the Kale,
+ A cabbage-head upon a tail.
+ It is not hard to tell the two,
+ The Quail commences with a queue.
+
+
+
+
+The Auk. The Orchid.
+
+[Illustration: The Auk. The Orchid.]
+
+
+ We seldom meet, when out to walk,
+ Either the Orchid or the Auk.
+ The awk-ward Auk is only known
+ To dwellers in the Auk-tic zone,
+ While Orchids can be found in legions,
+ Within the equatorial regions.
+ So if by chance you travel on
+ The Lena or the Am-a-zon,
+ Be certain of the tem-pera-ture
+ Or you will make mistakes I'm sure.
+
+
+
+
+The Cow Bird. The Cowslip.
+
+[Illustration: The Cow Bird. The Cowslip.]
+
+
+ Although the Cow'slips on this plant,
+ Suggest perhaps a ru-min-ant,
+ One never sees the opening bud,
+ Devour the grass or chew its cud.
+ The Cowbird picture, I suspect,
+ Is absolutely incorrect;
+ We make such errors now and then,
+ A sort of cow slip of the pen.
+
+
+
+
+The Butter-ball. The Butter-cup.
+
+[Illustration: The Butter-ball. The Butter-cup.]
+
+
+ The little Butter-cup can sing,
+ From morn 'till night like anything.
+ The quacking of the Butter-ball,
+ Cannot be called a song at all.
+ We thus the flower may learn to know,
+ Its song is reproduced below.
+
+[Illustration]
+
+
+
+
+The Roc. The Shamrock.
+
+[Illustration: The Roc. The Shamrock.]
+
+
+ Although I never took much stock,
+ In Sinbad's yarn about the Roc,
+ And really must confess I am
+ Inclined to think the Roc a sham:
+ Take notice that, the Sham-rock may
+ Be seen upon St. Patrick's day.
+
+
+
+
+A Sparrer. Asparagus.
+
+[Illustration: A Sparrer. Asparagus.]
+
+
+ Of the fall of the Sparrow we often have heard,
+ And I've here represented the fall of the bird:
+ In the case of Asparagus though, I may mention,
+ A fall such as this, is quite out of the question:
+ For observe that Asparagus, fat and well fed,
+ Spends all of his time in the 'sparagus bed.
+
+
+
+
+The Blue Mountain Lory. The Blue Morning Glory.
+
+[Illustration: The Blue Mountain Lory. The Blue Morning Glory.]
+
+
+ The Insects, to avoid surprise
+ By Birds, sometimes themselves disguise
+ As leaves and twigs, and thus escape
+ The appetizing Insect's fate.
+ Observe how cleverly this Vine
+ Has forced its leaves and flowers to twine
+ Themselves into a Bird design.
+ And how it's artful turns and twists,
+ Hides it from zealous Botanists.
+
+
+
+
+The Tern. The Turnip.
+
+[Illustration: The Tern. The Turnip.]
+
+
+ To tell the Turnip from the Tern,
+ A thing which everyone should learn,
+ Observe the Tern up in the air,
+ See how he turns, and now compare
+ Him with this in-ert veg-et-able,
+ Who thus to turn is quite unable,
+ For he is rooted to the spot,
+ While as we see, the Tern is not:
+ He is not always doomed to be
+ Thus bound to earth e-_tern_-ally
+ For "cooked to a tern" may be inferred,
+ To change the Turnip to a bird.
+
+[Illustration]
+
+ Observe the Turnip in the Pot.
+ The Tern is glad that he is not!
+
+
+
+
+The Larks. The Larkspur.
+
+[Illustration: The Larks. The Larkspur.]
+
+
+ You must not make ad-verse remarks,
+ About my drawing of the Larks.
+ For, by the minor poet's lore
+ The Larks--per-pet-ually soar.
+ While Larkspurs, bordering garden walks,
+ Are perched securely on their stalks.
+
+
+
+
+Cross Bill. Sweet William.
+
+[Illustration: Cross Bill. Sweet William.]
+
+
+ Nobody but an imbecile
+ Mistakes Sweet William for Cross Bill:
+ And even I can scarcely claim,
+ The skill to make them look the same.
+ Some other shrubs and vines and trees,
+ Express emotion much like these,
+ You've seen the mad-wort plant I guess,
+ And weeping willows and sigh-press,
+ The passion-flower, at it's climax,
+ The glad-iolus and the smile-ax.
+
+
+
+
+The Ibis. The 'Ibiscus.
+
+[Illustration: The Ibis. The 'Ibiscus.]
+
+
+ The sacred Ibis, one might say,
+ Was classified a "Bird-of-Pray"
+ His body, after death, was dried,
+ Embalmed in pitch, and mummyfied,
+ And thus was handed down to us
+ In some old King's sarcophagus.
+ The Mallow, growing in the bogs,
+ ('Ibiscus termed by pedagogues)
+ Is much opposed to dessication,
+ And bears no marks of veneration.
+
+
+
+
+The Pipe. The Snipe.
+
+[Illustration: The Pipe. The Snipe.]
+
+
+ Observe the hybrid Indian Pipe,
+ Likewise the high-bred English Snipe,
+ Who is distinguished, as we see,
+ By his superior pedigree.
+
+
+[Illustration:
+ Two crosses botonny
+ Bend sinister]
+
+[Illustration:
+ Fess Argent
+ Mantlets Sable]
+
+
+
+
+The Jay. The Bay.
+
+[Illustration: The Jay. The Bay.]
+
+
+ The Blue Jay, as we clearly see,
+ Is so much like the green Bay tree
+ That one might say the only clue,
+ Lies in their dif-fer-ence of hue,
+ And if you have a color sense,
+ You'll see at once this difference.
+
+
+
+
+The Gent-ians. The Lady-bird.
+
+[Illustration: The Gent-ians. The Lady-bird.]
+
+
+ The reason why this beetle gay,
+ Is called the Lady-bird, they say,
+ Is just because he wastes his hours,
+ In running after pretty flowers,
+ Who, quite regardless of conventions,
+ Most openly invite attentions.
+ (And hence are aptly termed the Gent-ians.)
+
+
+
+
+Puffin. Nuffin.
+
+[Illustration: Puffin. Nuffin.]
+
+
+ Upon this cake of ice is perched,
+ The paddle-footed Puffin:
+ To find his double I have searched,
+ But have discovered--Nuffin'.
+
+
+
+
+The Bee. The Beet. The Beetle.
+
+[Illustration: The Bee. The Beet. The Beetle.]
+
+
+ Good Mr. Darwin once contended
+ That Beetles were from Bees descended,
+ And as my pictures show I think
+ The Beet must be the missing link.
+ The sugar-beet and honey-bee
+ Supply the Beetle's pedigree:
+ The family is now complete,--
+ The Bee, the Beetle and the Beet.
+
+
+
+
+The Bunny. The Tunny.
+
+[Illustration: The Bunny. The Tunny.]
+
+
+ The superficial naturalists have often been misled,
+ By failing to discriminate between the tail and head:
+ It really is unfortunate such carelessness prevails,
+ Because the Bunnies have their heads where Tunnies have their tails.
+
+
+
+
+The Puss. The Octo-pus.
+
+[Illustration: The Puss. The Octo-pus.]
+
+
+ The Octopus or Cuttle-fish!
+ I'm sure that none of us would wish
+ To have him scuttle 'round the house,
+ Like Puss, when she espies a mouse:
+ When _you_ secure your house-hold pet,
+ Be very sure you do not get
+ The Octopus, or there may be
+ Domestic in-_felis_-ity.
+
+
+
+
+The Eel. The Eelephant.
+
+[Illustration: The Eel. The Eelephant.]
+
+
+ The marked aversion which we feel,
+ When in the presence of the Eel,
+ Makes many view with consternation,
+ The Elephant's front ele-vation.
+ Such folly must be clearly due
+ To their peculiar point of view.
+
+
+
+
+The Ant. The Pheas-ant.
+
+[Illustration: The Ant. The Pheas-ant.]
+
+
+ The ant is known by his ant-ennae,
+ Where-as the pheas-ant has'nt any,
+ And that is why he wears instead,
+ A small red cap upon his head:
+ Without his Fez, indeed the pheasant,
+ Would be quite bald and quite un-pleasant.
+
+
+
+
+The Hare. The Harrier.
+
+[Illustration: The Hare. The Harrier.]
+
+
+ The Harrier, harassed by the Hare,
+ Presents a picture of despair;
+ Although as far as I'm concerned,
+ I love to see the tables turned.
+ The Harrier flies with all his might,
+ It is a harum-scare'm flight:
+ I'm not surprised he does not care
+ To meet the fierce pursuing Hare.
+
+
+
+
+The Pen-guin. The Sword-fish.
+
+[Illustration: The Pen-guin. The Sword-fish.]
+
+
+ We have for many years been bored
+ By that old saw about the sword
+ And pen, and now we all rejoice,
+ To see how Nature made her choice:
+ She made, regardless of offendin',
+ The Sword-fish mightier than the Penguin.
+
+
+
+
+The Gnu. The Newt.
+
+[Illustration: The Gnu. The Newt.]
+
+
+ The Gnu conspicuously wears
+ His coat of gnumerous bristling hairs,
+ While, as we see, the modest Newt
+ Of such a coat is destitute.
+ (I'm only telling this to you,
+ And it is strictly "entre gnu")
+ In point of fact the Newt is nude,
+ And therefore he does not obtrude,
+ But hides in some secluded gnook,
+ Beneath the surface of the brook.
+ It's almost more than he can bear,
+ To issue slyly from his lair,
+ And snatch a hasty breath of air,
+ His need of which is absolute,
+ Because, you see, he is a pneu-t.[A]
+
+
+[Illustration]
+
+[Footnote A:
+ This word, of _air_ is emblematic,
+ Greek, "pneumos"--air--compare Pneumatic.]
+
+
+
+
+The Ray. The Raven.
+
+[Illustration: The Ray. The Raven.]
+
+
+ I always sing the hymn of hate,
+ When I perceive the Ray (or skate)
+ His ugly mouth I can't abide,
+ His eyes are on the other side,
+ His features are all out of place
+ He hasn't even any face.
+ I do not mind the Raven, though
+ Maligned by Edgar Allan Poe:
+ By his fun-er-ial array
+ We recognize him from the Ray,
+ Whose epiderm is white as snow,
+ Not black as night, like Mr Crow.
+ Though black, morose, and quite unshaven
+ I'm sure we all prefer the Raven.
+
+[Illustration]
+
+
+
+
+The Ape. The Grape.
+
+[Illustration: The Ape. The Grape.
+ To see her shape,
+ Invert the Ape!]
+
+
+ The Apes, from whom we are descended,
+ Hang ape-x down from trees suspended,
+ And since we find them in the trees,
+ We term them arbor-ig-i-nes.
+ This quite explains the monkey-shines
+ Cut up by those who pluck from vines
+ The Grape, and then subject its juices,
+ To Bacchanalian abuses.
+
+
+
+
+The Doe. The Dodo.
+
+[Illustration: The Doe. The Dodo.]
+
+
+ The Doe and her phonetic double,
+ No longer are a source of trouble,
+ Because the Dodo, it appears,
+ Has been extinct for many years:
+ _She_ was too haughty to embark,
+ With total strangers in Noah's ark,
+ And we rejoice because her pride,
+ Our nature book has simplified.
+
+
+
+
+The Pipe-fish. The Sea-gar.
+
+[Illustration: The Pipe-fish. The Sea-gar.]
+
+
+ To smoke a herring is to make
+ A most lam-_en_-table mistake,
+ Particularly since there are
+ The pipe-fish and the long Sea-gar.
+ Bear this in mind when next you wish
+ To smoke your after-dinner fish.
+
+
+
+
+The Elk. The Whelk.
+
+[Illustration: The Elk. The Whelk.]
+
+
+ A roar of welkome through the welkin
+ Is certain proof you'll find the Elk in;
+ But if you listen to the shell,
+ In which the Whelk is said to dwell,
+ And hear a roar, beyond a doubt
+ It indicates the Whelk is out.
+
+
+
+
+The P-Cock. The Q-Cumber.
+
+[Illustration: The P-Cock. The Q-Cumber.]
+
+
+ The striking similarity of this P-Q-liar pair,
+ No longer need en-cumber us, or fill us with despair:
+ The P-Cock and the Q-Cumber you never need confuse,
+ If you pay attention to the Eyes and mind your P's and Q's.
+
+[Illustration]
+
+
+
+
+The Sloe. The Sloth.
+
+[Illustration: The Sloe. The Sloth.]
+
+
+ See what a fix the Sloth is in,
+ He has been captured by the gin:
+ This gin is not the same gin though,
+ In which we sometimes find the Sloe.
+ This shows how careful one must be,
+ To treat the gin most gingerly.
+
+
+
+
+The Cow. The Cowry.
+
+[Illustration: The Cow. The Cowry.]
+
+
+ The Cowry seems to be, somehow,
+ A sort of mouth-piece for the Cow:
+ A speaking likeness one might say,
+ Which I've endeavored to portray.
+
+
+
+
+The Antelope. The Cantelope.
+
+[Illustration: The Antelope. The Cantelope.]
+
+
+ If you will tap the Cantelope reposing on the ground
+ It will not move, but just emit a melon-choly sound
+ But if you try this method on the antlered antelope,
+ His departure will convince you that he is a mis-an-thrope.
+
+
+
+
+The Pansy. The Chim-pansy.
+
+[Illustration: The Pansy. The Chim-pansy.]
+
+
+ Observe how Nature's necromancies
+ Have clearly painted on the Pansies,
+ These almost human counten-ances,
+ In yellow, blue and black nu-ances.
+ The face however seems to me
+ To be that of the Chim-pan-zee:
+ A fact that makes the gentle Pansy,
+ Appeal no longer to my fancy.
+
+
+
+
+Naught. Nautilus.
+
+[Illustration: Naught. Nautilus.]
+
+
+ The Argo-naut or Nautilus,
+ With habits quite adventurous,
+ A com-bin-a-tion of a snail,
+ A jelly-fish and paper sail.
+ The parts of him that did not jell,
+ Are packed securely in his shell.
+ It is not strange that when I sought
+ To find his double, I found Naught.

+property infringement, a defective or damaged disk or other medium, a

+Section 2. Information about the Mission of Project Gutenberg-tm
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm is synonymous with the free distribution of
+electronic works in formats readable by the widest variety of computers
+including obsolete, old, middle-aged and new computers. It exists
+because of the efforts of hundreds of volunteers and donations from
+people in all walks of life.
+
+Volunteers and financial support to provide volunteers with the
+assistance they need are critical to reaching Project Gutenberg-tm's
+goals and ensuring that the Project Gutenberg-tm collection will
+remain freely available for generations to come. In 2001, the Project
+Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a secure
+and permanent future for Project Gutenberg-tm and future generations.
+To learn more about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation
+and how your efforts and donations can help, see Sections 3 and 4
+and the Foundation web page at https://www.pglaf.org.

+
+Section 4. Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg
+Literary Archive Foundation
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm depends upon and cannot survive without wide
+spread public support and donations to carry out its mission of
+increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be
+freely distributed in machine readable form accessible by the widest
+array of equipment including outdated equipment. Many small donations
+($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt
+status with the IRS.
+
+The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating
+charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United
+States. Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a
+considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up
+with these requirements. We do not solicit donations in locations
+where we have not received written confirmation of compliance. To
+SEND DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any
+particular state visit https://pglaf.org
+
+While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we
+have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition
+against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who
+approach us with offers to donate.
+
+International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make
+any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from
+outside the United States. U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff.
+
+Please check the Project Gutenberg Web pages for current donation
+methods and addresses. Donations are accepted in a number of other
+ways including including checks, online payments and credit card
+donations. To donate, please visit: https://pglaf.org/donate
+
+
+Section 5. General Information About Project Gutenberg-tm electronic
+works.
+
+Professor Michael S. Hart was the originator of the Project Gutenberg-tm
+concept of a library of electronic works that could be freely shared
+with anyone. For thirty years, he produced and distributed Project
+Gutenberg-tm eBooks with only a loose network of volunteer support.
+
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks are often created from several printed
+editions, all of which are confirmed as Public Domain in the U.S.
+unless a copyright notice is included. Thus, we do not necessarily
+keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper edition.
+
+
+Most people start at our Web site which has the main PG search facility:
+
+ https://www.gutenberg.org
+
+This Web site includes information about Project Gutenberg-tm,
+including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary
+Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to
+subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks.
