Publisher's Synopsis
In presenting this volume, the author is aware that there are several excellent books, dealing with one phase or another of tree life. It is believed, however, that there is still need for an all-round book, adapted to the beginner, which gives in a brief and not too technical way the most important facts concerning the identification, structure and uses of our more common trees, and which considers their habits, enemies and care both when growing alone and when growing in groups or forests.
