﻿Trees of New York State 7 



The drawings were all made by Mr. J. Elton Lodewick, a 

 graduate of the College of Forestry, to whom I am grateful for 

 the zeal and loyalty which has made this work possible. Except 

 in rare cases they were drawn directly from fresh material col- 

 lected at Syracuse or sent to the college upon request and they were 

 personally checked by the author as to accuracy upon completion. 



Grateful acknowledgment is due my colleague. Dr. C. C. 

 Forsaith, who has contributed the glossary giving the derivation 

 of scientific names, and has likewise assisted me with many help- 

 ful suggestions. 



In conclusion I am happy to express my gratitude to all others 

 who have in any way contributed to the publication. Not least 

 among these is F. Franklin Moon, dean of the college, whose 

 kindly interest in the project from the first materially helped 

 to bring it to a successful conclusion. I have met always with 

 a ready response from my students and friends in the collection 

 of material and data covering the trees of the state and extend 

 to them mv sincere thanks. 



H. P. BROWN.
