Excerpt from Familiar Trees
Every tree is beautiful, every grove is pleasant and every forest is grand. The planting and care of trees is exhilarating and a pledge of faith in the future; but these aesthetic features, though elevating, are incidental. The people need wood. They have had it in abundance and have been prodigal in its use, as we are too often careless of blessings which seem to have no end. Our his tory, poetry, and romance are intimately associated with the woods. Our industries have developed more rapidly because we have had plenty of cheap timber. Millions of acres of bare hillsides that produce nothing profitably should be growing trees. These words of an American statesman are true of other lands as well as of the United States; and it is one of the objects of the present work to draw attention to the individual beauty and interest of each familiar species. In doing this the efforts of the author have been most ably reinforced by.
