The Folk Lore Of Plants by T.F. Thiselton-Dyer is a comprehensive guide to the cultural and historical significance of plants. This book delves into the myths, legends, and superstitions surrounding various plants and their uses throughout history. It covers a wide range of topics, from the medicinal properties of plants to their use in magic and folklore. The book is divided into chapters based on different plant families, such as trees, flowers, and herbs, and provides detailed information about each plant's cultural significance. Thiselton-Dyer draws on a variety of sources, including ancient texts, folk tales, and historical records, to provide a fascinating and informative look at the world of plants and their importance in human culture. This book is a must-read for anyone interested in botany, folklore, or cultural history.Firstly, to dream of white flowers has been supposed to prognosticate death; with which may be compared the popular belief that if a white rosebush puts forth unexpectedly, it is a sign of death to the nearest house; dream-omens in many cases reflecting the superstitions of daily life. In Scotch ballads the birch is associated with the dead, an illustration of which we find in the subjoined lines: ....This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations. Because we believe this work is culturally important, we have made it available as part of our commitment for protecting, preserving, and promoting the world's literature in affordable, high quality, modern editions, that are true to their original work.
