HANDBOOK OF TREES 



OF THE NORTHERN STATES AND CANADA

 valuable feature original with the author. It also shows characteristic barks by 

 photographs of typical trunks amid natural environments. Distributions are indi- 

 cated on little maps and wood structures by photo-micrographs. Its illustrations 

 represent 690 negatives and 191 line-engravings — the results of five years of field- 

 work. Four hundred eighty ?xg in. pages ; hand-sewed in strongest "library" 

 binding. Price, delivered, $6.00 in buckram; $8.00 in half morocco. Sample pages 

 sent on request.
