Written in the same fresh entertaining way, and with the same care and authority, that made invaluable to nature lovers her work on "How to Know the Wild Flowers."
"Since the publication, six years ago, of 'How to Know the Wild Flowers,'" says the writer, "I have received such convincing testimony of the eagerness of nature lovers of all ages and conditions to familiarize themselves with the inhabitants of our woods and fields, and so many assurances of the joy which such a familiarity affords, that I have prepared this companion volume on 'How to Know the Ferns.'"
"The charm of this book is pervading and enduring as is the charm of nature."—New York Times.
"This is a notably thorough little volume. The text is not voluminous, and even with its many full-page illustrations the book is small; but brevity, as we are glad to see so many writers on nature learning, is the first of virtues in this field.... The author of 'How to Know the Ferns' has mastered her subject, and she treats of it with authority."—New York Tribune.
Our Native Trees and How to Identify Them
By HARRIET L. KEELER
With 178 full-page plates from photographs, and 162 text-drawings. Crown 8vo, $2.00 net.
The trees described in this volume are those indigenous to the region extending from the Atlantic Ocean to the Rocky Mountains and from Canada to the northern boundaries of the Southern States; together with a few well-known and naturalized foreign trees such as the Horse-Chestnut, Lombardy Poplar, Ailantus, and Sycamore Maple.
"Miss Keeler has made a very commendable addition to the semi-popular treatises on American plants, in a well-written, well-illustrated, and well-printed account of native and naturalized trees. Bits of the best from the poets and prose writers relieve the descriptions, and the folk-lore of a number of trees is well if briefly told."—American Naturalist.
"To such of the general public as habitually frequent the woods which they love, the book will be most welcome, for it is carefully classified, adequately illustrated, and most readably written."—Boston Budget.
