A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

The practical study of trees for many years, together with an effort to instruct others, has led me to prepare the keys offered in this book; they have grown from a few pencil notes relative to the trees in the University grounds and vicinity to a more comprehensive tabulation of the principal forest trees of the Southern States. All the trees of this territory are not included, because an exhaustive list would make the keys so cumbersome as to threaten their practical use. On the other hand they include many trees that are not indigenous to the territory. It was thought well to do this because the importation of foreign varieties for ornamental uses has made desirable a knowledge of their relationship. Both keys place the emphasis upon the leaves rather than upon the flowers. This method has been followed because of the fact that leaf characters are more easily mastered by the beginner; their distinguishing features are complex, to be sure, but such complexity does not approach the many difficulties which are offered by a method based upon the flowers. Moreover, many of the public schools are not yet equipped with laboratories, without which it would be impractical to depend upon a flower key.
