JN issuing at sixpence a little volume 
which will enable the purchaser to 
identify at least all the ti ees most frequently 
to be met with in this country , the publishers 
believe that they are supplying a much 
needed hand-book. Most people are ignorant 
to a surprising extent of the names of the 
commonest trees, and this is largely due, no 
doubt, to the fact that no book such as the 
present, which can be slipped into the pocket 
without the slightest inconvenience when 
starting on a waZk, has hitherto been 
available. It is hoped that the short notes 
at the end will be found of assistance. The 
Lati7i nomenclature follows Loudon’s well 
known “ Trees and Shrubs.”
