This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.

Leopold is delighted to publish this classic book as part of our extensive Classic Library collection. Many of the books in our collection have been out of print for decades, and therefore have not been accessible to the general public. The aim of our publishing program is to facilitate rapid access to this vast reservoir of literature, and our view is that this is a significant literary work, which deserves to be brought back into print after many decades. The contents of the vast majority of titles in the Classic Library have been scanned from the original works. To ensure a high quality product, each title has been meticulously hand curated by our staff. This means that we have checked every single page in every title, making it highly unlikely that any material imperfections – such as poor picture quality, blurred or missing text - remain. When our staff observed such imperfections in the original work, these have either been repaired, or the title has been excluded from the Leopold Classic Library catalogue. As part of our on-going commitment to delivering value to the reader, within the book we have also provided you with a link to a website, where you may download a digital version of this work for free. Our philosophy has been guided by a desire to provide the reader with a book that is as close as possible to ownership of the original work. We hope that you will enjoy this wonderful classic work, and that for you it becomes an enriching experience.

Ezra Brainerd was born on December 17, 1844 at St. Albans, Vermont to Lawrence Robbins Brainerd and Catherine (Wood) Brainerd.
Ezra Brainerd received his general education in the public schools of his native town. In 1860 he entered Middlebury College, graduating four years later with the degree of A. B. For the next two years he was a tutor there, and then for two years attended Andover Theological Seminary, duly graduating though never ordained.
After graduation from Andover Theological Seminary, for the next two years Ezra Brainerd was professor of rhetoric at Middlebury College; subsequently he taught physics and applied mathematics and from 1885 to 1906 was president of the college. His first scientific inclinations showed themselves in physics and surveying. Early in his career he began the study of geology, where his ability as a surveyor stood him in good stead. His work on the geology of the Champlain valley and the origin of certain Vermont formations won the admiration of Le Conte. In 1900 he published the Blackberries of New England, the first of his botanical papers to attract wide notice, and in the same year he was among the trio of editors who issued the Flora of Vermont, considered the model of a state floral catalogue.
By 1904 he had published his first paper on violets, and from then until the close of his life he was constantly at work upon the study of hybridism in the genus Viola. The genus contains an enormous number of natural hybrids, and their pure species parents he endeavored to discover by growing the plants under controlled conditions and by studying the unit characters as they emerged in subsequent generations, according to Mendelian laws.
He traveled all over the country in the study of violets, sustained an immense correspondence, and published innumerable titles on the subject, those of most philosophical interest being the series Hybridism in the Genus Viola. The result was an international reputation.
In conjunction with Dr. A. K. Pietersen, studies in the hybridism of the genus Rubus were carried on at the Vermont Experiment Station; the results were published in 1920 as Bulletin 217 of the Vermont Experiment Station. The methods that had been employed in the study were along approved genetic principles, and the publication was warmly received by the geneticists; as an avowed study in systematic classification the work was considered a failure by some specialists in systematic botany.
Brainerd's last publications were his "Violets of North America, " and "Some Natural Violet Hybrids of North America, " constituting Bulletin 224 and Bulletin 239, respectively, of the Vermont Experiment Station. These were incomplete, largely popular expositions of the subject, as Brainerd stated in private correspondence, being essentially illustrations (by Schuyler Mathews) with some textual notes by Brainerd.

Brainerd was a member of the Vermont Botanical Society.
Executive detail was, however, never congenial to his temperament which was distinctly that of the scholastic. To the end of his life he retained a great memory and a facility with the classic tongues.
Brainerd was twice married, in 1868 to Frances Viola Rockwell, and, after her death, to Mary Wright in 1897.
