K ley
TO THE FLORA OF THE ROCKY
MOUNTAIN REGION BY PROF.
AVEN NELSON.
Text Book from the Press of the Apple
ton Company That Must Interest
All Who Take Pleasure In the Wild
Flowers Of This Region-SeveraI
Hundred Species Described.

There has just beer issued from the
press of the Appleton Company a text
book on Rocky Mountain plants that
must interest all who take pleasure in
OF botany in the schools of the region.
The book is from the pen of Prof.
Aven Nelson of the University of Wyo-
ming and is called a Key to the Rocky
Mountain Flora. 1t does not profess to
deal with all the plants of the Rocky
Mountain states but. as the title and
commoncr species and especially those
that blossom during the spring and
early summer" Several hundred spe-
cies are described, these having been
selected with great care from the 5000
species that occur in the Rocky Noun
tain states. The science of botany has
lines that systematic botany (the nam
ing of plants can no longer monopo-
lie, as it formerly did, all the time OF
the student. but it is admitted that
systematic botany offers a point of con-
tact with nature that is of inestima-
BILE value.
To supply the demand for a book
that should furnish the discipline and
mental stimulus that comes from
something actually accomplished in
this line of work this brief manual has
been prepared. DR.. Coulter. whose
Manual of the Rocky Mountain Flora
has heretofore been the only book
dealing with the plants of this region.
says Of it. 1T is remarkably well done.
There is exactly that touch of familiar
ity with the plants of the region that
makes all the difference in the world
in the usefulness of such a Key 7 do
not see how | could better the text"
In the choice of plants to be includ.
the species that the student beginner
and all other lovers Of flowers would
be likely to collect. These are just
the ones that will be found i'll its pages
tersely yet adequately described, thus
making available both the common
and the scientific James of the familiar
wayside plants. The hope is express
ed that the beginner. discovering for
himself the names of a few of the com
mon plants of his neighbOrhood. may
develop an interest in his flora that
will later make him, in some cases, a
critical student of it."
No doubt many of the former stu
dents in Prof. Nelson's courses in bot
any will be glad to secure this book,
which will enable them to recall and
extend their former knowledge of sys-
tematic botany.
1t is the second in a series of three
Keys issued by the Appleton company
in their 'Twentieth Century Text
books series; the first. for the eastern
states, by Prof. Coulter: the second,
for the Rocky mountain states; and
the third. for the Pacific coast states,
by Prof. Pepson. of the University OF
California.

That the Frisco will take out a
