COMMENTS. 



" The technical and common name or names, as well as the description of the 

 plant, leaves and fruit, as well as its habitat, together with the illustration, give a com- 

 plete and minute treatise of each species, together forming a most comprehensive ref- 

 erence book for the student, as well as others interested in Botany." — Forest Leaves. 



" Permit me to express my high appreciation of the work, the exact and beauti- 

 ful illustrations of which, in connection with the text, now first renders possible a 

 comprehensive and satisfactory study of the plants of the northern States without the 

 possession of a very extensive herbarium." — John H. Lovell, Waldboro, Maine. 



" The immensity of the undertaking will probably be fully appreciated by com- 

 paratively few ; but any one can see that it must involve appalling labor. Certainly 

 no such general work has been previously attempted. The execution of the under- 

 taking appears to be thoroughly satisfactory. The possession of this great mine of 

 exact and elaborate botanical information must prove a constant delight and satisfac- 

 tion to every one who takes any sort of intelligent interest in the vegetable world."— 

 Country Gentleman. 



* The volume is to me and will, I think be to all amateurs, more interesting 

 than Vol. I. That was deeply interesting, but this treats of more flowers that come 

 within our realm of knowledge. I am exceedingly glad that we have such a book in 

 America, and I can not speak too highly of its praise." — Geo. D. Hulst, Brooklyn 

 New York. ' ' 



"Last August the first copies of Vol. I. of this work were distributed, and about 

 the middle of June of the present year copies of Volume II. reached the botanists of 

 the country. The good opinion of the work formed from an examination of the first 

 volume is confirmed by even a glance at the second. The outline figures continue to 

 be most useful." — The American Aaturalist. 



" More than three thousand plants are described, every one of which may be 

 recognized by a child from the illustrations, and yet each is described and named with 



authorities and with synonyms that clear up the vexing questions of identity." The 



Churchman. 



"All who see it want it at once. I don't know how we got along so many years 



without it. You are reaping the gratitude of all lovers of the plant kingdom." Prof. 



\V. A. Kellerman, Columbus, Ohio.
