TWO NOTABLE NATURE BOOKS.
FERNS
A Manual for the Northeastern States. By C. E. WATERS, Ph.D. (Johns Hopkins). With Analytical Keys Based on the Stalks. With over 200 illustrations from original drawings and photographs. 362 pp. Square
8vo. Boxed. $3.00 net. (By mail, $3.34.)
A popular, but thoroughly scientific book, including all the ferns in the region covered by Britton’s Manual. Much information is also given concerning reproduction and classification, fern photography, etc.
PROF. L. M. UNDERWOOD, OF COLUMBIA:
“It is really more scientific than one would expect from a work of a somewhat popular nature. The photographs are very fine, very carefully selected and will add much to the text. I do not see how they could be much finer.”
THE PLANT WORLD:
“This book is likely to prove the leading popular work on ferns. The majority of the illustrations are from original photographs; in respect to this feature, it can be confidently asserted that no finer examples of fern photography have ever been produced.... May be expected to prove of permanent scientific value, as well as to satisfy a want which existing treatises have but imperfectly filled.”
MUSHROOMS
Edible, Poisonous Mushrooms, etc. By Prof. GEO. F. ATKINSON, of Cornell.
