1080 pp. 8vo. $2.25, net. 
A comprehensive manual of a thousand pages, containing about 4,500 descriptions, 
probably one-third more than any other. It is designed to meet modern requirements 
and outline modern conceptions of the science. It is based on 4m /ilustrated Flora, 
prepared by Prof. Britton in co-operation with Judge Addison Brown. The text has 
been revised and brought up to date, and much of novelty has been added. All 
illustrations are omitted, but specific reference has been made to all of the 4,162 
figures in the J/lustrated Flvra. 
‘It is the most complete and reliable work that ever appeared in the form of a 
flora of this region, and for the first time we have a manual in which the plant 
descriptions are drawn from the plants themselves, and do not represent compiled 
descriptions made from the early writers.” —Prof. L. M. Underwood of Columbia. 
«This work will at once take its place as a standard manual of the region that it 
covers. It is far superior to any other work of its class ever published in America. re 
—Prof, Conway Macmillan of University of Minnesota. 
“This book must at once find its way into the schools and colleges, to which it 
may be commended for ‘he students in systematic botany.”—Chas. E. Bessey 
“Science.” 
‘« It is nothing if it is not compact; it is nothing if it is not up to date ; it is nothing 
if it is not the work of a master. What more can be said, save that the more it Is 
used the greater the appreciation by the plant-lovers in the region which it covers.” 
—Prof. Byron D. Halsted of Rutgers College. 
“ The work is well done; and as it is the only volume which gives in a way sult- 
able for students the present state of the science, it cannot fail to take its place as 4 
standard work.” — Prof. George Macloskie of Princeton. 
«I regard the book as one that we cannot do without and one that will henceforth 
take its place as a necessary means of determination of the plant species within its 
range.’’—-Prof. V. M. Spalding of University of Michigan.

« An exceedingly valuable contribution to our botanical literature.

of pages. It is so complete, and its information, methods and nomenclature are S° 
entirely up to date that it is absolutely indispensable.”—Journal of
