The success of “Our Trees and How to Know Them” has encouraged the publishers to issue the present volume, which deals with a branch of botany practically untouched by handbooks at a moderate price. They trust that lovers of plants will show their appreciation of their efforts by endeavouring to make this new departure very widely known.
