Green's book is a delightful introduction to a knowledge of trees.
The emphasis is, to a large extent, on the unique characteristics
of trees and on unusual facts concerning their history and use.
There are two full pages of photographs for almost every tree
described: one of the tree in its natural setting, the other of
detail that will aid in identification.
Originally published in 1939.
