Though this work nominally treats of the trees and shrubs of Massachusetts, it is equally applicable to the flora of many other States; indeed all New England and a greater part of the Middle States. In it is described every important tree or shrub that grows naturally in Massachusetts, and in other States of the same latitude, the descriptions being the result of careful personal observation. It is, indeed, a comprehensive and convenient manual for almost every section of the Union. The illustrations of these volumes constitute one of their most important and attractive features. A large number of the plates are by the eminent authority on this subject, Isaac Sprague. Volume I. treats of the Pines, Oaks, Beeches, Chestnuts, Hazels, Hornbeams, Walnuts, Hickories, Birches, Alders, Plane Trees, Poplars, and Willows. Volume II. treats of the Elms, Ashes, Locusts, Maples, Lindens, Magnolias, Liriodendrons, and the shrubs.
