Book Description

Excerpt from Handbook of the Trees of the Northern States and Canada: East of the Rocky Mountains The shortness of the period, too, during which the flowers or fruits of certain trees are in their prime, or even exist on the trees, has necessitated close watch. The exact time must' be ascertained by observation, and if, perchance, I miss it I must wait until another year for another opportunity. Then I may find it an off year (imagine my disappointment I), and still another year must be waited. Procuring specimens from lofty tree-tops are trivial ordeals compared with instances like these. Add to these vicissitudes the distribution of our trees. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
