NOTES 
Note1, page 5. There are about fifty distinct species 
of oak indigenous to the United States. 
Note 2, page 23. The bloom of the dogwood be- 
gins to wither and fall with the appearance of 
the leaves. In the illustration facing page 22 sev- 
eral leaves are seen among the bloom, but they 
belong to the bough of a neighboring tulip tree. 
Note 3, page 47. The juniper berries are in reality 
transformed cones. 
Note 4, page 52. The habit of the firs in early life 
is shown in the plate facing page 125. 
Note 5, page 63. Curiously enough, the old Eng- 
lish conception of a forest was chiefly that of a 
hunting ground, irrespective of the trees grow- 
ing there. Consequently some forests were very 
open stretches of ground. 
Note 6, page 71. The red-winged blackbird lin- 
gers in the Southern States through the winter. 
Note7, page 163. German forestry — and, in a less 
degree, European forestry also— is indebted to 
Herr von Salisch for elaborating the idea that 
forest art can be united with practical, utilitarian 
forestry. His book on “ Forest Esthetics,” which 
fills a unique place in the literature of forestry, 
is an exposition of this interesting subject, based 
upon mature knowledge and experience.
