A VOLUME OF "AMERICAN WOODS" DISPLAYED 



EACH page contains three paper-thin sections of actual wood transverse, radial, and 

 tangential and as these are nearly transparent, they show clearly the structure. They 

 are mounted on strong bristol board, which bears the accurate scientific and popular names 

 of each specimen shown, together with the common name in German, French, and Spanish. 



The pages on which the speci- 

 mens of wood are mounted are 

 separate, to facilitate examina- 

 tion and comparison one with 

 another, and in order that they 

 may be used in direct connec- 

 tion with the text which ac- 

 companies each volume. 

 Nine parts of this great work have been issued and are ready for delivery ; others 

 will follow at the rate of one or two parts per year. Each part contains at least three 

 specimens each of 25 species, with illustrated text. 



The follozving are the net prices per part : 

 Green or brown cloth, imitation morocco, $5.00. Half-morocco, $7-50.
