Series Notes:
1. The first format began in 1901 with the numbering 1-36.
2. The second numbering sequence which is seen with all the other formats began in 1902 with numbers 1-10, 11a-33a.
3. Some Format 1 books have been seen with the Format 2 title list. These are probably a transition between the formats.
4. No illustrations. The earlier format has a portrait of the author opposite of the title page.
5. There were certainly more flower arrangements published in formats #1, 2, and 4 than are shown here. As new pictures become available, they will be displayed.

 

Formats 1 and 2 have flowers on the right half of the cover. At this time these flowers have been seen in this series as well the Petit Trianon Series (#143) and the In His Name Series (#110). 16 different flowers have been noted.
