ANNOUNCEMENT 



In the following pages will be found announcements of our various 

 lines, to which attention is invited. They are unique in their nature 

 and of quite unusual interest to all who are interested in our American 

 trees and timbers. 



This volume is Part XIII of the series AMERICAN WOODS, and is 

 issued in styles of binding and at prices uniform with the previous 

 parts of the series. (See announcements following). It differs from 

 them, however, in containing, bound with the text, a series of photo- 

 graphic pictures of characteristic barks, as shown on typical trunks 

 with natural environments, and a few sprays of foliage. These trunk 

 pictures are uniform in style with those of the northern trees in our 

 HANDBOOK OF TREES OF THE NORTHERN STATES AND CANADA, PHOTO- 

 DESCRIPTIVE. Doubtless most if not all of them are the first photographs 

 that have been taken of these uncommon subjects, and we trust their 

 appearance here will be an added feature of considerable interest to 

 our patrons. 



This volume is also issued with special binding and title page as 

 Tropical Woods of Florida, the Bahamas, West Indies and Central 

 America, designed for the trade in those regions. Its price in this form 

 is ten dollars. Should parties purchasing it in its distinct form after- 

 wards decide to acquire the complete series of AMERICAN WOODS, they 

 may have full credit for this on returning it to us with instructions as 

 to the style of binding desired in the series.
