Book Description

Excerpt from Michigan Trees: A Handbook of the Native and Most, Important Introduced Species Two sets of keys are given. One is based upon characters which are present during the summer; the other uses the winter characters as a basis for identification. Photographs have not been used as illustrations because they are too indefinite and give all characters equal emphasis. This generally conceals the essential marks necessary for identification and affords little help to the student. Accurate line drawings are substituted for photographs, since they have proved to be much more serviceable in classwork. It is believed that with the aid of the drawings and descriptions given in this bulletin any person will be able to identify any Vermont tree. If, however, difficulty is found in naming a given tree, specimens of flowers, fruit, leaves, wood, etc., mailed to the Extension Service, Burlington, Vermont, will be named without charge, if of such a char acter and received in such condition as will admit of identification.
