BRITTON'S MANUAL OF THE FLORA OF THE 

 NORTHERN STATES AND CANADA. 



By Director N. L. Brittov of the New York Botanical Garden. 

 1080 pp. 8vo. ^2,25, net. 



A comprehensive manual of over a thousand pages, containing about 4,500 

 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 has been made to all of the 4,162 figures m 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 manual in which the plant 

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

 piled descriptions made by the early writers." — Prof. L. M. Underwood of 

 Columbia. 



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

 that it covers. It is far superior 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. 

 E, 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 mo'e 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 way 

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

 place as a standard work." — Prof. George Macloskie of Princeton. 



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

 torth 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 literature. ... It is 

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

 —Prof. T. J, Burrill of the University of Illinois.
