BOOKS ON GARDEN FIELD AND WOOD
Our Northern Shrubs
By HARRIET L. KEELER
The volume is prepared not only for the amateur botanist who seeks a more adequate description than the textbooks afford, and not only for the lover of nature who desires a personal acquaintance with the bushes that grow in the fields; but also to serve those who are engaged in the establishment and decoration of city parks, roadways, and boulevards; those who are seeking to beautify country roadsides and railroad stations as well as those who, in the decoration of their own home grounds, would gladly use our native shrubs were their habits and character better understood.
"Simple, clear descriptions that a child can understand, are given of shrubs that find their home in the region extending from the Atlantic to the Mississippi River, and from Canada to the boundaries of our Southern States."—Outlook.
"There are over two hundred plates from photographs, and a number from drawings. The photographs, all of shrubs in flower or fruit, are very beautiful, and so clear as to make identification perfectly simple."—Dial.
"An interesting feature of this book is the sparing but judicious incorporation of quotations from those authors among us who have best interpreted nature."—Churchman.
