Excerpt from Trees and How to Know Them: A Manual With Analytical and Dichotomous Keys of the Principal Forest Trees of the South
The practical study oi trees for many years, together with an effort to instruct others, has led me to prepare the keys offered in this book; they have grown from a few pencil notes relative to the trees in the University grounds and vicinity to a more com prehensive tabulation of the principal forest trees of the Southern States. All the trees of this territory are not included, because an exhaustive list would make the keys so cumbersome as to threaten their practical use. On the other hand they include ‘many trees that are not indigenous to the territory. It was thought well to do this because the importation of foreign va rieties for ornamental uses has made desirable a knowledge of their relationship.
