This work is designed to present a concise outline of the general 

 subject of Forestry in its various relations, and especially to afford 

 directions for the planting and care of trees in groves, or as wind, 

 breaks, or for ornament in private grounds, village roads, etc. 



Although the range and capabilities of species is noticed, with 

 reference to the whole country, and the special interests of other 

 regions is included, particular attention is given to the subject of 

 tree-planting in the Western States, and on the borders of the 

 Great Plains, with suggestions as to the methods best adapted for 

 securing success under the difficulties there encountered. 



The work is fully illustrated by engravings in the text. Tech- 

 nical details are avoided, and the greatest care has been taken 

 that the definitions and terms used are concise, plain, and easily 

 understood. No theoretical discussions are introduced, and no 

 statements made but those founded upon approved authority. 



The author has been several years, and is now, engaged under an 

 appointment from the General Government in investigating the 

 subject of Forestry, in the Department of Agriculture, and his re- 

 ports, published by order of Congress, have received the approval 

 of the highest authorities upon Forestry in Europe. They were 

 awarded a Diploma of Honor at the International Geographical 

 Congress at Venice, during the last autumn.
