Synopsis
Excerpt from Trees, Vol. 1: A Handbook of Forest-Botany for the Woodlands and the Laboratory
The Object I have in view should, I think, be ante cedent to that of all such studies, namely, to encourage an acquaintance at first hand with the plant in its own home: not merely a knowledge Of the characters Of the flowers, fruits, Ste. Which have been chosen by systematists as useful in accepted schemes of classification, but also of those features of buds, twigs, leaves, seeds, seedlings and so forth which are necessarily absent from the typical Flora, although they are employed in special Floras and handbooks used by experts.
