By CLARENCE M. WEED, D.Sc. 

 Teacher of Nature-Study in the Mass. State Normal School at Lowell 

 All nature-lovers will hail this book with delight. Its purpose 

 is to afford an opportunity for a more intelligent acquaintance with 

 American trees, native and naturalized. The pictures upon the 

 plates have in all cases been photographed direct from nature, and 

 have been brought together in such a way that the non-botanical 

 reader can recognize at a glance either the whole tree or the leaves, 

 flowers, fruits, or winter twigs, and thus be able to identify with 

 ease and certainty any unknown tree to which his attention may be 

 called. In the discussion of the text especial attention has been 

 given to the distinguishing character of the various species, as 

 well as to the more interesting phases of the yearly cycle of each, 

 and the special values of each for ornamental planting. 



One hundred and forty-eight illustrations.

Under the Open Sky 



Being a Year with Nature 



By SAMUEL CHRISTIAN 



SCHMUCKER 



Author of "The Study of Nature" 



"It is a great pleasure to meet a book 

 like this." The writer begins with Nature's 

 year— 'God's New Year'— March, and, 

 taking up in each chapter a new month, 

 calls attention to the season's dovelop- 

 ment, peculiar to that month, the charac- 

 teristic flower, bird, or insect, and relates 

 of each some vital fact or traditional 

 fiction that is easily retained in the mem- 

 ory His style is sympathetic and fluent, 

 and the exquisite marginal illustrations 

 throughout the book add greatly to its 

 charm and attractiveness. Each lover 

 of the delights of our open country will 

 find a constant revelation of Nature's 

 foresight and a stimulation of his powers 

 of observation in these glowing descrip- 

 tions and will recognize under all the 

 foundation of a scientific fact."
