I would like to thank the Rourke Press, Inc., for letting me use their books--The Rourke Guide To State Symbols: Flowers, The Rourke Guide To State Symbols: Trees, The Rourke Guide To State Symbols: Birds, and The Rourke Guide To State Symbols: State Facts. I would also like to thank www.anyflag.com for letting me use the Hawaii state flag. For reference I also used Vol.9 of the 2000 World Book Encyclopedia. Thank you for your help.
