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.
