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.
