 Nothing has in its way contributed more to the cause. It meets a real want." — 

 CHAS. L. PACK. 



HANDBOOK OF THE TREES 



Photo-descriptive. Enables one unfamiliar with botany to identify the trees and 

 learn much about them. 



"Indispensable for public and school libraries, for all students of trees and for 

 botanical laboratories. Everything that has been attempted seems to have been well 

 planned and well executed. We cannot think of an item which would contribute 

 to greater completeness."— BOTANICAL GAZETTE. 



"Altogether the most interesting and valuable book 

 on trees I have ever seen. A fine example of an ex- 

 cellent plan thoroughly carried out. It is worth fully 

 double the amount you charge for it. Send me six 

 more copies."— W, H. BOARDMAN. 



"An extraordinarily thorough and attractive hand- 

 book of the trees, furnished with realistic illustrations 

 of tree sections, barks, leaves, and fruits that almost 

 carry the scent and touch of the original."- NEW 

 YORK TIMES. 



Have been examining it page by page and I find it 

 a perfectly delightful book. Your illustrations of the 

 leaves, fruits, etc., are very fine indeed, while the 

 illustrations of the trunks are works of art. To every 

 lover of trees this book will be a source of inspira- 

 tion." -Dr. J. N. ROSE. 



"It exactly fills my needs as a summer resident 

 amongtreesand with a son interested in what is grow- 

 ing about him. "-E. B. MITCHELL. 



"Am greatly impressed with the very thorough 

 manner in which each tree is illustrated. I am glad 

 to have a copy."— GIFFORD PINCHOT. 



" We would like to congratulate you upon the plan, 

 the thoroughness of the concise descriptions, and the 

 beauty of the pictures.'-HARPER & BROTHERS. 



"We are impressed with the comprehensiveness 

 of the information presented and the beauty and pre- 

 cision of the illustrations." -G. P. PUTNAM'S SONS. 



" Unique and a joy to all lovers of forestry."— F. W. RANE. 



We also have a large line of preparations of Woods for Stereopticon and Microscope, Stere- 

 opticon views of Trees, etc. Write for particulars, stating which subject interests you most.
