world; is free from sediment or impurity, always ready for 
instant use, and it imparts to butter that rich dandelion yel¬ 
low. without a tinge of red, 'which is the acme of desirabil¬ 
ity in any butter color.

IliLTTSTRATED. 
In liis Preface, the author says: “ Many a time 
during my life have I felt the need of some one 
volume of moderate size, containing the names 
and descriptions, however brief the latter might be, 
of all the trees indigenous to the United States. 
Having waited in vain for the appearance of 
such a book, I have attempted to write one myself, 
with the hope that it will bo of service, not only 
to those who may desire to raise forest trees for 
pleasure or profit, but to others, who, like the 
author, may occasionally visit diCferent parts of the 
country, and need some such guide, that will 
help them to call to mind the names, as well as to 
assist in identifying the different species of trees 
to be found in our forests. I have written it for 
tliose who are not supposed to have given the sub¬ 
ject of forestry any special attention, and for tliis 
reason purposely avoided using any greater num¬ 
ber of scientific and unfamiliar terms than was actu¬ 
ally necessary in describing the various species and 
varieties. Furthermore, at the suggestion of the 
publishers, I have been as brief as possible, in order 
to make a book that can he sold at a price within 
tlie means of all, and one that will not even deter 
the summer tourist, who is about to spend a few 
days or weeks in the country, frotn dropping aeojiy 
into his grip-sack before leavinghome,”
