The volume is prepared not only for the amateur botan- 

 ist who seeks a more adequate description than the text- 

 books afford, and not only for the lover of nature who 

 desires a personal acquaintance with the bushes that grow 

 in the fields; but also to serve those who are engaged in 

 the estabKshment and decoration of city parks, roadways, 

 and boulevards; those who are seeking to beautify country 

 roadsides and railroad stations as well as those who, in 

 the decoration of their own home grounds, would gladly 

 use our native shrubs were their habits and character better 

 imderstood. 



"Simple, clear descriptions that a child can understand, are 

 given of shrubs that find their home in the region extending 

 from the Atlantic to the Mississippi River, and from Canada to 

 the boundaries of our Southern States." — Outlook. 



"There are over two hundred plates from photographs, and 

 a number from drawings. The photographs, all of shrubs in 

 flower or fruit, are very beautiful, and so clear as to make identi- 

 fication perfecdy simple." — Did. 



"An interesting feature of this book is the sparing but judicious 

 incorporation of quotations from those authors among us who 

 have best interpreted nature." — Churchman.
