Native and Cultivated Conifers of Northeastern North America: A Guide (Comstock Book)
"This guide is consistently expert and thorough, yet simple enough for an amateur to use. The numerous drawings are exceptionally well executed. Edward Cope has successfully managed both to facilitate the identification of conifers for the botanist or naturalist and to provide valuable information for the landscape architect, nurseryperson, or home gardener."—American Reference Books"Although the book is indeed a major expansion and reworking of Muenscher's 1950 version, author Cope made concerted efforts to retain the ease of using the book as originally developed by Muenscher. Muenscher's Keys to Woody Plants serves admirably beginning naturalists, as well as professional botanists. Also recommended for public, academic, and special libraries."—William Burk, University of North Carolina Chapel Hill Biology Library, E-Streams, Vol. 5, No. 8, August 2002
