 zoSo pp. 8vo. $2,25j net. 



A comprehensive manual of over a thousand pages, containing about 4,300 

 descriptions, probably one third more than any other. It is designed to meet 

 modern requirements and outline modem conceptions of the science. It is 

 based on An Illustrated Flora ^ prepared by Prof. Britton in co-operation 

 with Judge Addison Brown. The text has been revised and brought up to data, 

 and much of novelty has been added. All illustrations are omitted^ but 

 specific reference hat been made to all of the 4,162 figures in the Illustrated 

 Flora, 



*' It is the most complete and reliable work that ever appeared in the form of 

 a flora of this region, and for the first time we have a matiual in which the plant 

 descriptioDE are drawn from the plants themselves, and do not represent com 

 piled descriptioDB made by the early writers."— Prof. L. M. Underwood ol 

 Columbia. 



** This work will at once take its place as the standard manual of the region 

 that it covers. It is far supierior to any other work of its class ever published in 

 America."— Prof. Conway MacMillan of University of Minnesota. 



" This book must at once find its way into the schools and colleges, to which 

 it may be commended for the students in systematic botany." — Prof. Chas. 

 B. Bessey in ** Science." 



" It is nothing if it is not compact ; it is nothing if it is not up to date ; it is 

 nothing if it is not the work of a master. What more can be said, save that the 

 more it is used the greater the appreciation by the plant-lovers in the region 

 which it covers."— Prof. Byron D. Halsted of Rutgers College. 



" The work is well done \ and as it is the only volume which gives in a wav 

 suitable for students the present state of the science, it cannot fail to take its 

 place as a standard work." — Prof. George Macloskieof Prinoeton. 



" I regard the book as one that we cannot do without and one that will hence- 

 forth take its place as a necessary means of determination of the plant species 

 within its range."— Prof, V. M. Spalding of University of Michigan. 



"An exceedingly valuable contribution to our botanical terature. . . . It Is 

 convenient to handle, and the low price will help to give it a large circulation.*' 

 —Prof. T. J. BurriU of the University of Illinois.
