 2012 Ring-Standard Calendars
are Now Available!
In 1897, Louise B. Graves of Boston designed a small desk calendar for a friend. She delighted family and friends every year with a Ring-Standard Calendar, and a successful small business developed. In 1942 Ms. Graves chose as her successor family friend Mary Sage Shakespeare, who worked at Mass Audubon for over 25 years. The Ring-Standard Calendar has changed little in its 115 years, with only a handful of artists who have ever created designs. Charlotte Greenewalt, Mrs. Shakespeare’s cousin, assisted in the preparation of this year’s calendar. The floral motif was originally created by Mrs. Shakespeare for the 1948 edition. As always, it shows the phases of the moon and the signs of the zodiac. The calendar measures 4” x 3”, is printed on heavy recycled paper, and is presented in a gold gift box.

 Fora Novae Angliae: A Manual for the Identification of Native and Naturalized Higher Vascular Plants of New England
by Arthur Haines
This comprehensive manual offers accurate, up-to-date, and clear information for identifying New England's remarkable array of tracheophytes (vascular plants, excluding mosses). With fully researched entries on some 3,500 native and nonnative species, the book is the first in decades to provide a complete and correct botanical reference for the region's noncultivated plants. The volume includes many new species not documented in New England before, while also excluding many species that have erroneously appeared in earlier manuals.
Focusing on the taxonomy and distribution of New England plants, the manual is largely dedicated to identification keys and to species entries that provide scientific name, origin, regional conservation ranking, common name, synonyms, distribution, ecology, and other miscellaneous items of interest. Nearly one-third of the entries are accompanied by helpful black-and-white line illustrations.
