FOREWORD 



per I would fain hide from display -I have 

 never failed to find rest, and peace, and much 

 to see and to love, among the common and 

 familiar trees, to which I hope these mere 

 hints of some of their features not always seen 

 may send others who also need their silent 

 and beneficent message.
