Publishers Description: Two things distinguish this book from most other books on as well as the European favorites, including many new and special varieties, you will find an array of magnificent trees from the new world, together with notes on their cultivation and habits. The second-and valuable-point of difference is the detailed index which lists over 1200 species, with their botanical and popular names, origin and climatic requirements, description of foliage, flowers, fruit and other notable features, plus information on size and growing habits and the uses of their various parts. This is the most comprehensive book to date for the tree lover, the traveler and the home gardener. All three will find it invaluable in identifying the trees they see and in choosing those they wish to have around them.
