abounds in excellent photographs of trees in winter, and twelve 

 colored plates show the important color-characteristics of the 

 buds and twigs of various species. The text consists, first, of 

 the special features that serve to identify each species in winter, 

 followed by considerable matter relating to their range, habitat, 

 uses and peculiar characteristics. To the rambler the trees are 

 as attractive in winter as in summer — perhaps more so — and 

 this book will be a fitting companion for his excursions during 

 the reign of the frost. 



A series of twenty-four plates of representative forest trees, 

 in full leafage, has just been issued by A. W. Mumford, 203 

 Michigan Avenue. Chicago. These were photographed by an 

 expert protographer and are excellent likenesses which have 

 lost nothing in the reproduction. Each sheet contains three 

 views ; the tree entire, a near at hand view of the bark and a 

 leaf or leaf clusters. Under the photographs are several lines 

 of text giving the range of the species, its usual height and girth, 

 tne nature of its wood, its uses, etc. The plates will be of much 

 value for use in the school room, but any who are interested 

 in the trees will find this series an excellent one. The price for 

 the set is $1.00.
