" It is not often that we find a book which deserves such unreserved commenda- 

 tion. It is commendable for several reasons : it is a book that has been needed for a 

 long time, it is written in a popular and attractive style, it is accurately and profusely 

 illustrated, and it is by an authomty on tlie subject of which it treats." — Public Opinion. 



' ' Most readers of the book will find a woi Id of information they never dreamed of 

 about leaves that have long been familiar with them. The study will open to them 

 new sources of pleasure in every tree around their houses, and prove interesting as 

 well as instructive.'' — San Francisco Call. 



" A revelation of the sweets and joys of natural things that we are too apt to pass 

 by with but little or no thought. The book is somewhat more than an ordinary 

 botanical treatise on leaves and trees. It is a heart-to-heart talk witli Nature, a true 

 appreciation of the beauty and the real usefulness of leaves and trees." — Boston 

 Courier. 



"Has about it a simplicity and a directness of purpose that appeal at once to every 

 lover of Nature." — New York Mail and Express. 



" Mr. Mathews's book is just what is needed to open oi^r eyes. His text is charm- 

 ing, and displays a loving and intimate acquaintance with tree life, while the drawings 

 of foliage are beautifully executed. We commend the volume as a welcome com- 

 panion in country walks." — Philadelphia Public Ledger. 



"The book is one to read, and then to keep at hand for continual reference. " — 

 Chicago Dial. 



" The unscientific lover of Nature will find this book a source of enjoyment as well 

 as of instruction, and it will be a valuable introduction to the more scientific study of 

 the subject." — Cleveland Plain Dealer. 



' ' This book will be found most satisfactory. It is a book which is needed, written 

 by one who knows trees as he knows people." — Minneapolis Journal. 



' ' A book of large value to the student. The reader gathers a wide and valuable 

 knowledge which will awaken new interest in every tramp through the forest." — 

 Chicago Inter-Ocean. 



■■ A most admirable volume in many ways. It meets a distinct and widely felt 

 want. Th? work is excellently done ; its appearance is very timely. . Written in a 

 clear and simple style, and requires no previous technical knowledge of botany to 

 understand it." — Baltimore News. 



' ' This very valuable book will be prized by all who love Nature."— The Churchman. 



"Of the many Nature books that are constantly inviting the reader to leave 

 pavement and wander in country bypaths, this one, with its scientific foundation, 

 and its simplicity and clearness of style, is among the most alluring."— 5/. Paul 

 Pioneer-Press. _^
