The Utility Materials division includes Fire Lore, Water Lore, 

 Basketry and Binding, Stains and Dyes, and many other things. 

 The Foods and Beverages division gives information on edible roots, 

 pot-herbs, edible seeds, nuts, fruits, berries, etc. Division III 

 tells the plants used medicinally for first aid, for astringents, as 

 well as those which are noxious or poisonous. 



The correlation of plants and trees with their uses and the accu- 

 rate leaf plates make this a most interesting and useful volume for all 

 nature group leaders. 



"Learn the Trees from Leaf Prints" was designed as a supple- 

 ment to personal guidance and as an encouragement where technical 

 knowledge is hard to obtain or too tedious to make tree study a 

 pleasure. About 195 leaf prints are included. They give an accurate 

 portrayal of the leaves. They indicate the typical leaf of the kind of 

 tree from which they were taken. They show the average length 

 of stem, the lobing or indentations, the venations, and sometimes 

 even the texture of the leaf. This is the fun way to acquaint yourself 



with the trees. -.^ ^ -r,
