Our Native Trees and How to Identify Them: A Popular Study of Their Habits and Their Peculiarities (Classic Reprint) - Softcover
Synopsis
Atlantic Ocean to the Rocky Mountains and from Canada to the northern boundaries of the southern states; together with a few wellknown and naturalized foreign trees such as the Horsechestnut, Lombardy Poplar, Ailanthus andS ycamore Maple. It is hoped that this book will commend itself :T oamateur botanists who desire a more extended and accurate description of trees than is given by the botanical text-books in ordinary use. To such of the general public as habitually live near fields and woods ;or whose love of rural life has led them to summer homes in hill country or along the sea-shore ;or whose daily walks lead them through our city parks and open commons. To all those who feel that their enjoyment of out-door life would be distinctly increased were they able easily to determine the names of trees.

Review
"The New York Times [in June 1900] pronounced it 'well-written and thoroughly interesting'... The reviewer concludes: 'The book... should add new interest to the coming summer for many to whom Nature is practically a sealed book, as well as heighten the pleasure of others to whom she has long been dear.'
