A BOOK FOR THE LOVER OF NATURE 



Trees and their Life Histories 



By PERCY GROOM, M.A., D.Sc, F.L.S. 



The author has aimed at no mere descriptive volume, but gives a mass of essential information 

 concerning the various trees. So far as is consistent with accuracy the book is written in non- 

 technical language, and the introductory part gives the information to adapt it for those 

 unacquainted with botany. The illustrations are a great feature, there being 112 full-page 

 plates and about 400 other illustrations from photographs by Henry Irving. 25s. net.
