AMERICAN WOODS 



By Romeyn B. Hough, B. A. 



A publication unique in its illustrations, in that they are actual specimens instead 

 of pictures, giving literally "sermons in trees" 





A VOLUME OF THE "AMERICAN WOODS" DISPLAYED 



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

 tangential and as these are nearly Iransparent, 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 

 specimens of wood are mounted 

 are separate, to facilitate ex- 

 amination and comparison one 

 with another, and in order that 

 thev mav be used in direct 

 connection with the text which 

 accompanies each volume.
