Ramaley's Wild Flowers and Trees of Colorado* 



Wild Flowers and Trees of Colorado recently issued by Pro- 

 fessor Ramaley, of the University of Colorado, is most attractively 

 illustrated with line drawings, and a varied and large number of 

 half tones of plants and of plant habitats. The book, issued as 

 the " only popular work of any kind dealing with Colorado plants ", 

 must surely serve the author's purpose : to interest the people of 

 Colorado in its plants. 



Believing that the trees are " the best plants to begin with in 

 a study of vegetation ", half of the book is devoted to forest 

 formations and forest trees ; a very simple key based upon leaf 

 characters is included. The flowers cannot, of course, be ex- 

 haustively dealt with in the space allowed ; but both text and illus- 

 trations are interesting, and some knowledge of plant names, 

 and of plant ecology may be acquired in a very pleasant way.
