AMERICAN TREES.


OUR NATIVE TREES AND HOW TO IDENTIFY
THEN A Popular STUDY OF Their HABITS 7 ana
rs illustrations from Photographs and and with
xiii 533. Charles Scribner's Sons.
Our vast silva is so varied that even a bowling
acquaintance with all it's members is restricted
to specialists. When the latter try TO communi-
cate their knowledge the dweller in cities they
need powers Of clear statement; they must be
accurate; but If they are pedantic they are lost.
Perhaps the ideal guide TO the trees would be
written by great literary artist. whose gift Of
condensed pictorial expression would fit him to
fix forever the image of a tree upon the readers
mind and sharpen his vision for the thing itself
ordinary prose never could. Miss Keller
says: I'm winter a branch of the linden may
be recognized by its deep red buds; and the
delicate leaves which burst from them in the
spring are a vivid green" Tennyson's line, "A
million emeralds break from the ruby budded
lime" suggests how the arboreal ccerone we
have In mind might put the facts unforgettably
before US.
But while he delays, a writer like Miss Keller
is boon. She strengthens her text with many
apt quotation, but she relies chiefly a sys-
TEN which ought to smooth and illuminate the
path of the novice among trees. Beginning with
the popular and botanical names Of tree, and
noting, whenever possible. the origin of both,
she describes its broad aspects, recites It's
measurements, indicates its habitat and the
soils favorable to its growth. and follows some
terse analyses Of bark, leaves etc. with citations
from poets and authorities, concluding with
useful remarks Of her own. The illustrations,
whether from photographs or line drawings. are,
above all things, clear The SYSTEMS chief merits
are compactness and practicability. The book
fulfls its aim. making dark things plain to the
uninitiated observer. Handy in form and we'll
